Is anyone part of the Ontario Landlord Association?

Anyone here a member of the Ontario Landlord Association? Is it worthwhile?

Their forum used to be public. It was literally the best source of information on landlording that I've ever found (Sorry BP, but it was all about Ontario's wacky ways).

Unfortunately, they locked down the public forum and nobody responded to my and my friend's emails. After 6 months of trying, we quit emailing.

It is a real shame because their forum was pure gold. I read 750 threads by landlords asking for help with problems specifically in Ontario. I learned a LOT about the LTB, RTA and general landlording best practices.

For the Rent-Check membership and discounts I joined London Property Managers Association. I was told they had a discussion group on LinkedIn, but after paying to join I found that the last post on the LinkedIn group was a 2 year old ad for a used vacuum. 

As sparse as Ontario information and discussion is here on BP, this appears to be the best public forum at the moment for landlords in Ontario.
