And, I've said this before, and I'll say it again....
This forum helped me more than I can express. I had already been a year or two into my AI journey, but had hit a stumbling block. I was very discouraged, and confused by the time I found GC.
This forum gave me some inspiring stories to read to keep my spirits up during the roller coaster ride. It also provided me with some contacts who helped me understand WHY things had stalled.
And, it provided me with a few people to PM with to ask, "I just heard from this person who said this... what do you think that means?". One of these people went above and beyond the call of duty, and found out exactly where the ball had been dropped. Once she sorted things out for me, I was initiated in a matter of months.
And yes, it was Navene's list that gave me some names to contact. I PM'd two-- one never answered, but the other put me in touch with someone from another GLO who had a lot of knowlege about AI. She, in turn, contacted a ZTA who she knew-- who was able to get things moving again.
I truly believe I would still be in PNAM purgatory had this forum not existed.
So.. the bottom line... I think the forum was perfectly fine and functional the way it was before it was attacked.
