After witnessing the bun fight on ScotAvNet, I decided to have a look around at some other options for posting and reading aviation information. After a conversation with a friend and a short search I found, Aviation for All and although it seems to be a bit higglty pigglty the forums are pretty good and quite active.
It did take a little time to find my way around the forums, but I was pleased to see that there is a lot of information and it would seem that there is something for everyone. The Scottish posts appear in a number of places dotted around the forum, but there is a certain logic to the layout.
As for the administration team, there seems to be someone available pretty much all day – although I haven’t had to ask any questions yet I’m guessing that if I do they will be answered pretty quickly.
This looks like a forum, where people are actually prepared to help other people – it even has separate sections for ADSB logs, Aviation stuff for sale and Off Topic posts – which means that you don’t have to wade through stuff you don’t want to see.
So in the short term, I’m going to give this forum a go – while I keep a weather eye on ScotAvNet. But I suspect that in the long term I’ll be ditching ScotAvNet, as it seems to be the old thing where people seem quite happy to become very partisan and start a bun fight.
