apoplectic, welcome back.
apoplectic,
As JTW2007 has stated, this place is usually not a good place for learning for cubing-related things, but once in a blue moon, a good thread will pop up that actually brings up an interesting point, but it is sadly then crushed by useless posts, a debate, or someone's overall incompetence. In the past year and a half, I've been growing sad, seeing the value of these forums increasingly diminishing. If you want good information, I'd suggest either checking out the 'new' speedsolving wiki, logging onto #, or browsing on the main forums and hoping for something worthwhile.
Also, within the past 2 years, people have been expanding methods; I'd suggest you check this out:

Sincerely,

For people looking for information on the cube or any speedsolving techniques, I think this is a great place to find it. When I was new to cubing, I wanted a central place to find, share, and discuss the information. I still think it serves that purpose. It has also grown to serve the purpose of discussion results of competitions, and organizing details of competitions.
Obviously, as the # of members increase, the quality is going to go down. The only way to avoid this is to stop new registrations and slowly filter out people who don't contribute positively. One way to prevent as many worthless threads is to moderate them and move them to their appropriate sections accordingly. These topics have been discussed many, many times, and I don't think this thread is a good place to discuss them further.
Keep in the mind, the quality of the posts is controlled by people like you and me, the members.
