I use the forums for much more then that, I don't think I have even used if for complaining or ranting. I have learned a lot of the tips and tricks from threads that I found by creeping the forums. Also found out about Admin's with a youtube Video posted on here.
Also I am just starting up recordings from home to get used to doing that and uploading to the forum fer people to have a look at, very slowly that is. I know there is a lot of complaining in the latest threads but if you weed through the things that aren't really pertaining to you a hidden gem will be found here and there.
Just my opinion, but would love to hear yours as well.
Thanks,
