Traffic here on AHA is way way down from what it was just 4 or 5 years ago.
I suggest HBT to anyone who wants both traffic and fairly decent homebrewing advice. You need a filter for some of the garbage but by & large it's pretty okay. They do certainly still get good traffic there somehow.
But where you want really good input on anything, I sure hope the AHA forums here stay around for a lot longer. It's where I've preferred to spend my time for several years and still do. More about quality, even if it's less in quantity.
