I like Erik and value his opinion, so I joined (briefly) to see if the venue perhaps had a lower... signal-to-noise ratio... than some of the more common forums.
It did... but for someone at my level (don't know everything, but it ain't my first rodeo) it seemed like more of an echo chamber than I really needed. There were some sessions where he'd work directly with members that were struggling with particular things, which was cool, but not really of value for me. I canceled after a handful of months IIRC.
Bear in mind, that was my impression *at the time*, a year or more ago. The entire flavor of the place could have changed one way or the other since then.
