There are some people in Cool Cases at Hardforum with a TON of smarts on circuits and electronics. For example, I have gotten correct troubleshooting on an IC at like 3am on a Tuesday there.

I don't think that the Hardforums are any different from all the other large forums out there really: the majority of posters are young kids who think post count is proportional to intelligence. You lots of times see someone post a lot in a non-hardware section of a site, get "uber" status, and then they assume they know a lot. I bet there are some members here who have lots of posts in the Random section too. Just the way things work.

My complaint about basically every busy forum is that the Search button is so neglected. At Hardforum, this is compounded by the fact that older useful posts get killed, and that the search button is sometimes DOA.

And in closing, I don't think it is particularly mature to come over here and complain about Hardforums. Send moderators or H|OCP staff e-mails, or sign them up for gay pr0n or something but don't go to other forums complaining.
