I heard about GANG around a year ago while reading the story of a young sound designer that works for Epic, who found his connections via this organization. I wanted to sign up for a long time, and finally had the funds last month. As soon as I started browsing the site, my stomach sank. I found a relatively empty forum that is scarcely used, a user blog section that’s either broken or empty, podcasts on soundcloud that are two years old, links to resource websites that appear to be more helpful, but are free…

Perhaps I just need encouragement. I realize that this site is all about networking, but it appears to almost be a ghost town. If I want to really learn more, I have to shell out more cash for courses that I can’t afford.

So what makes GANG any better than a place like /r/gameaudio on reddit? What has the site done for you, or made it worth the yearly fee? Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks.
