For me I prefer forums as they are a lot more searchable then say a Facebook group. Also as long as you own (rent) the server you can organize how it is set-up and how long info stays on it.
The reason I am not on this forum (TCers) more is that I sold my unit. Still am here to get tips for my new unit (Class B) but I read more than posting.
The reason I am not on other parts of RV.net more is that many of the moderators are jerks.The reason I am not on other parts of RV.net more is that many of the moderators are jerks. Some of the rules that they enforce are to the letter crazy!!!! I did a big trip report on another area of RV.net and got told I had to change it or the moderator would take it down as there were parts that mentioned my business. Sorry but I am a photographer and I do that when traveling I did not try selling anything or advertising it was just mentioned that I have a photography business and I was shooting on the trip. I never had that issue on the TCer part of RV net.
I know a number of others that ran into similar issues and left as well. There is moderating then there are power hungry dictators. It is not worth my time when I am accepted on other forums I would rather be there.
You covered it there... Moderation can make or break any forum and on here, the moderation is sometimes suffocating.
