I think that's partially it, but Jody is known as the Godfather of Welding on YouTube, and I think that's where he focuses his energy at as it gets him the most ROI. I think he has help from his son in regard to videos. He does post on Instagram.

I'm not complaining, but don't have much power to do much here.
Here's an example, I'm sure I'm not the only person that has seen this message. I've sent a message to the weldforum_team, in fact I just sent them one a couple days ago, but it just falls on deaf ears. When Spartan created this thread, he was asking how to liven up the forum, well, fixing these errors would go a long way to attracting active members.

No argument there. Maybe it's an artifact of welders in general, MinnesotaDave tends to be a baby sitter for those rude folks. He has some patience. I haven't posted there in over 7 weeks as some of the folks a know-it-alls about everything. I have met 2 or 3 nice people over there whom I exchange emails with, but the majority of them have always been a pack of rude uncouth welders. In that regard I do still post here, but WTAT is not without it's set of minor issues either.
