yes its not so much a community forum but more of a "help" forum if you need help with any of the tutorials while you are a member.

This is what we are going to do with simplylightwave.

There are pros and cons of both really:

The bad part is that you have no community and dont meet up with to many people.

The good points is that posts there are strictly to do with the site and if someone requires help then the help would probably be easier to give as you have no large community to look after and maintain - also you could do lots more free videos as you are not using loads of bandwidth on a board.
