Van's forum and MGL

[cheeselion]

I dearly wish that forum was maintained by a group of enthusiasts or at least as a side project, and not as a full-time job. The dependency on expensive vendor fees has driven away a lot of good information. The strength of the experimental platform is in the choices available... having it implicitly/accidentally become a pay-to-play monoculture benefits nobody (except the vendors who can pay).

That's true - it has become pretty expensive (in particular if you have to buy USD with our pathetic local currency) - just for a tiny ad and the right to answer questions.
