I have to 100% agree with the above statement. 

when i first joined here, i remember posting in a random strategy thread, and as silly as it sounds, i got a real kick when a few people, including RFB and KB commented that the advice was decent. possibly my only decent advice on here 😀

I also found the forums to be extremely welcoming, especially to knew players. there are tons of threads posted by micro stakes dudes that have absolutely butchered the hand, but to everyones credit on here, they just tell them WHY they would do it differently, not berate them for a bad play. which encourages them to post more. 

now as a humble member moderator, i try my hardest to keep that same feeling going that i encountered when i first signed up, but i reckon there have been <5 instances where people have had to be told that its not the way things are done around here. 

super credit to KB and RFB for creating a kickass site. the bugginess of the forums has hurt it a bit, but it seems to be back on track now and the traffic seems to be up again. i think one of the secrets is that it is paying members only that access the forum, which is different to a lot of other training sites, but it means that you dont get the people who are just there to show everyone else how much they think they know, they are actually serious about getting better.
