You can follow my participations in French forum and some UK sections like the Directory forum. I'm trying to share and explain the Microsoft recommendations, and provide a solution for asker problem or question about Active directory, Hyper-V, windows server, Exchange and desktop.
I moderate also many sections in French forum by moving a thread to correct forum, marking correct answer etc.

What forums need more attention? What could they use more of?

Mark the correct answer by the moderator can help other forum visitors who have the same issue or question to find the right answer, if the asker forgets to do it.
