Some people are - but unfortunately Forum groups all suffer from the
same problems, they are appallingly slow to navigate and you are forced
to look at the attachments like avatars and unnecessary pictures whether
you like it or not. I can navigate from email message to email message
with one keystroke, try that with Machforum or CNCZone! I can read 100
emails in the time it takes to navigate, open and read 10 with all the
bling on a forum.

Also I don't get spied on by cookies that track my site usage and may
pass my details elsewhere and I certainly don't get crap email like "Hi
Pilotltd - we've not heard from you in a while" as per CNCZone!

Yup - they are not moderated and they suffer from a lot of crap content
for it.

How you get "better organized" is totally beyond me..
