I can see where the author is coming from, and I don't mean to discredit the many negatives they mention, but ironically enough people doing exactly what the article suggests against has led to many people (even my mother) googling things like "best coffee grinder reddit". Most of the alternatives sound like they would be much less discoverable and encourage much less interaction/discussion, which often is as interesting as the contribution itself. I do agree that any sort of cohesive, ongoing advice is better organized in a blog or other more permanent form. I also agree that the suggestion about "fixing web-based forums" could be a good idea. And perhaps it's also worth saving your particularly good contributions in storage you own
