SLO clone if you can register, I don’t remember the credentials. It’s also not for novice but extremely informative
 
I second the Headfirst Facebook group. Its growing and there is more activity compared to some forums. Also check out the Headfirst Youtube channel. He has a lot of great content there all in one place where you would typically have to jump to 20 different sources for.
 
The problem with the headfirst group is that there’s a lot of the blind leading the blind. Information on the internet just because it’s on the internet doesn’t make it automatically correct. SLOclone and metro forums are both great places to learn and not be steered wrong. As always YMMV.

Well I do my best to moderate it, you're welcome to chip it too, if you have an informed point of view.

My group is not meant to be a free for all on tube amps, it's a DIY builders group for my PCB's.

Your forum group is wonderful and definitely needed from a customer service perspective of your products - I totally get where you’re coming from. But you do attract a certain novice level and market heavily towards them on purpose - I’m just pointing it out from a knowledge perspective compared to other forums.

I could yes, I don’t anymore. I don’t give out information because it’s usually not heeded. I’ll certainly answer PMs and questions aimed at me, but nothing more. It’s likely the same reason @novosibir stays quiet.
 
Using all these resources with your own experience is the only way to understand the amount of information presented. Once understood you can apply these to other aspects of your life that hopefully elevate you from a hostile system.
