A good forum is one where, as professionals we try to audit what we've put out to ensure it is still current.
I'd like to know what forum that is supported solely by the altruistic intentions and unpaid contributions of said 'professionals' actually does that. I post here to give back because of the assistance I received without charge, so whatever I contribute that is deemed worthy or helpful in any way has a life like anything else. If it dies because the website I linked to is no longer available, that is unfortunate, but as far as I know, no one is paying me to contribute my content, much less be vigilant if any of the thousands of my posts contain links that are no longer valid. I wouldn't even expect that level of vigilance from a forum that charges for your ability to view solutions. In fact, I know of at least one that charges yet will contain an untold number of posts with now invalid links. The notion is an honourable one, but completely outside the realm of possibility under the current scheme.

The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
