Alas, many things (in life) are not always what they appear to be. Don't be taken in. Good luck with your quest. John.

There is no masquerade John. I was a moderator there for ten years and can tell you that it started and remains a community based forum to serve the passion of its members, many of whom are hardcore audiophiles (the odd vidoephile too). Sure it looks professional and has advertising content, like many community based forums, but that is to support the running expenses of providing server hardware, good bandwidth, licensing, software and IT services to keep the forum running and looking fresh.
Additionally there are detailed policies that cover Commercial/Sponsor Members as well as general members. Beyond that there are quite obviously
separate classified sections for Commercial/Sponsor Members and general members.
There's no masquerade. It's a wonderful community of like minded audiophiles that love to discuss their passion, sometimes passionately
, but always respectfully. The friendships made just in the comradery of on-line discussions there, sees many members hosting get-togethers for their forum friends
in their own homes.
Now that .... is a community based forum !
Best
