I love Baen, and regularly buy from them. I have hundreds of their books. ... However, I am interested in a perception/opinion of other Baen visitors. Is the bar/message board what it used to be?
My perception is that it has fallen way off in terms of quality and volume. A lot of the authors seem to visit much less frequently. For me, I began to visit less often as other message boards proliferated (such as mobileread). One of my biggest problems has been the speed of the bar -- It takes forever to load pages/threads.
So, I continue to be a big Baen booster -- just today, I tried to convert someone to become a webscriptions.net buyer. However, I only occasionally visit the bar.
What do the rest of the old-timers think? Is the bar everything it used to be? Or is it less central to the Baen 'empire' than it was in the early days?
