They are not informative, but I think one reason I stay around is because of the community that can be found in Cafe threads on fun topics to me such as football, Parenthood, AI.
In terms of true helpfulness, nothing beats the NMSF threads once those start hopping with people posting cutoffs. That’s where I learned ds2 didn’t make it! lol
Also, the communities formed on the HS Class of 20XX/College Class of 20XX threads is second to none. Each year, the diehards form private FB groups. The ones that I am a part of have been a source of comfort and help, and I love meeting new friends IRL.
