I am offering my feedback because you asked

I get my info from the LIST most of the time
                              From FB group some of the time
                              And from the Coco Crew Podcast all of the time

Some times too much really is too much.
Not to say any of your content or resources are not good, the opposite is true, but I just find that when you go to a restaurant that offers everything you spend more time looking at the menu than you do enjoying the food

Again I offer my opinion because you asked

PhpBB is a nightmare from a security standpoint.
