Site still slow as hell
plus review comments never seem to appear--not in a timely manner anyway.
They've been working on it for how long now? I guess we just have to live with it, or else give up and go elsewhere.

It must have been just for that day because it is up to speed now. Still, doesn't it bug you that comments don't post?
And I did leave for a while but am back. Thought I was done with the hobby but, not yet. Still, however, since there are so few reviews here I might give RM another try. It has its own problems but more reviews and I like how you can get a running commentary on a review there.

Hi RC. RM used to be free? Anyway, in answer to your question, I think their search tool is not as good as MPR's, they don't permit reviews of independents (severe drawback there) and, as you point out, you must pay for vip, although at $15/mo it's not that bad. I paid once and got some good info, but, like here, they sometimes get fake reviews--however, with their more open commenting board, the fakers are more likely to get exposed, and sometimes the back and forth comments on a review is an interesting read--you never get that here. Also they don't have the technical glitches that you often encounter here, like just now when I wanted to post this reply, and it said I had to log in, when I already was logged in. Luckily I copied the text so I didn't have to type the whole damn thing over again.

Neither site is all that good. This site is from 1980 and is dead, while RM's is lame in it's own way and has some pretty weird stalker types on it.

traveler can you please inform us of a better site--focused on MPs. I know about TER but I think they are pretty exclusively for reviews of independents, which is OK but for my immediate area there are not many and then they don't stick around for long, at least not the good ones, in my experience.

When I first started this hobby 6+ years ago, RM was free. Think they started charging 3-4 years ago. Each geography has it's own boards. Cross reference on HX, MPR, USASG and TER. They all come and go - remember Troothsayer and AFFax? As we all know they have their pros and cons. I use HX a lot and frequent AAMPs in the OC. MPR has some good info on AMPs in the OC.
I get my best info from other mongers that I've gotten to know. We share the really good ones that no one want's to post on a public website. Heck, we even get together for beers every once in a while. Certainly can't share any info with a friend. They all have big mouths and would let something slip.
