congrats on the win! the forums are kinda dead these days, but there is a wealth of fantastic information around, and you'll usually get plenty of good info back if you have any questions. i would recommend checking out some of the guides and stuff, there is really a lot of super helpful info in a lot of them. the forums are still a great resource, and give a huge advantage to those who put in the effort to take advantage of them. it definitely does take some effort, there's an awful lot to sift through, and there's a lot of interesting topics that only come around once or twice a year. i really enjoyed the forums when i started, i read literally everything, but even if you just check in from time to time for some new ideas, it can be really helpful
the discord really replaced a lot of the forum activity, but its no substitute if you are looking for in depth information that has been accumulated over the years. a lot of folks just want a 1-2 liner for their questions, or want a quick response, and i totally get that. but if you want depth, the forums are a million times better.
