I spend far more time there browsing around for both technical knowledge and entertainment. It is what you make of it if you disregard the idiots. (And everyone has their own distinct version of constitutes an idiot). Just filter out the chaff and stick the forums that appeal to you and it is a great resource. (With the membership base that they have over there how can you not find things of value to you wether you have an active membership or not)
Molon and his ammunition testing is a perfect example of what is useful over there.
Some forums just want to walk their own narrow path such as the High Power shooting forum here....
http://www.usrifleteams.com/forums/ (they have a defined focus on High power competition) and it works for them to stay in that lane. (I have read more there that other places recently as I am really trying to improve my High Power competitive performance.
I like it here and have no complaints worthy of note
but have at times felt that the moderation has been heavy handed... Not to imply any faults with it as it is what it is. (I tried to come up with a descriptive way of saying at times there is excessive moderator intervention but that takes the statement too far as perhaps "unnecessary moderator intervention" would be a better way of describing my impression at times. All of that fundementally falls into the "Their houise their rules" category however.
And that is relative to things like combining like threads even though there is a differing conversation in each. I would rather sift through separate threads even on the same sublect than have to make a combined thread read like a coherent thought process)
It is minor things like that that are in truth of little consequence.
