Good news on the price. Now wait until it gets as busy as the Arduino forum - about 20 pages of new posts per day!
We are currently at about 400-500 new posts per day, so it's getting pretty big and only growing.
When I got my Arduino I joined the Arduino forum, so I could (I thought) keep up with people and their projects as they came in.
Wrong.
That place is so busy it's insane. When I realized there were ~20
pages of new posts per day, I gave up on that idea. I still look at it from time to time but there's just too much to keep up with. Getting too big can be a problem in it's own way. But of course they are over-boarded but's that's another story ...
