And I'd argue back that there's plenty of community here at ProCooling. Forums are a transient thing, and as such people will come and go here just as they will anywhere else. Just because the people around here aren't as "noob friendly" as in some forums doesn't mean that there's no sense of community here... personally I enjoy lurking here more than I do anywhere else, and it's because of the colourful and knowledgeable (and often helpful) people first and foremost. Sure, it may not suit everyone's style, and yeah, it may be a bit exclusive, and maybe even a bit dysfunctional. But it is what it is, and that makes it a great community to me.
