I wanted to quote someone but after I tried to edit my post it was unreadable with charachters and "none" everywhere. That's one of the reasons why I don't like the SoM forum. Anyway, here is my original post without any quote...:
From my perspective the first cons is actually a pros. And the forum is friendly, I don't understand why you have this impression. Of course if you go on it and says that

I voted MA because it's better, smoother, faster, prettier, more mature and easier to navigate than any other metal site that has ever existed. In my humble opinion, of course.
