Places have their purpose. WebmasterWorld is the best for accurate long term information that holds up. If you want the latest news or todays specific issues relating to a certain company or problem, other forums and blogs are best. Maybe it's like a daily entertainment show versus an encyclopedia. You look stuff up here in a more general way and find information that you can learn. Other forums or sites may have a topical discussion about something that is hot today but irrelevant and noise tomorrow.

That's why you go to several places for a well rounded online experience. No place has it all. I get frustrated and/or edited when specific companies or situations can't be discussed here but that's the way it is. I've seen moderators post something that a non-moderator wouldn't be allowed to do but that is the authority to do so. I've had posts deleted and then almost the exact same thing posted by a moderator. It sometimes makes you more reluctant to post if you don't want to waste time for nothing. You just learn how it goes and you go elsewhere for deep specifics and deal with a lot of junk along with it.

This is the number one place to go and research something.
