In my opinion AF is not a forum anymore. It is a board where members post the latest news or their video tributes. And I think they are very very good at that, the latest news often are posted first there and I visit AF almost every day to sneak a little bit.
But there is not a lot of interaction between members and that makes the place quite boring.
So I agree, it is great to have both places. But I prefer the company of the "crazy" people that writes over here
