The med support outside the forum was counterproductive to me. Eh? Their forums are more active than this board. The major difference is you never see an AOPA staffer on the boards there. It's a 100% volunteer activity.

Because they gave out patently wrong information that ended up in me being unnecessarily grounded for 12 weeks while I got the stupidity unravelled. Dr. B pretty much told me that I was fed a load of bull by the AOPA and that my AME probably should have been decertfiied (for reasons unrelated to my application).
I was trying to be supportive, but I won't use "the hangar" as a web board.
I have a sneaky suspicion that this forum will get a lot more active.
The medical support Dr. B provided on the AOPA Forum was beyond excellent. That, and having so many really knowledgeable persons actively participating made it my favorite aviation Forum. Too bad it will close, so I will now visit this forum a lot more often.
If by "Dr. B." you're referring to Dr. Bruce Chien, he's on the Pilots of America forum... which was created, in fact, due to earlier issues with the AOPA forums.
