Actually one or 2 large sites are a more effective voice than dozens of little ones. That being said, the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. The advent of FB and it's popularity, has slowly erroded forums and message boards....and it's a shame.....they had a feel that FB can't come close to matching.
FB above all is a marketing tool.....the forums were for help and support run by average people trying to make a difference.
Anyway...have at it....everyone else does.
