I am also a member of a handful of Land Rover forums, MSE and a few others to boot some that I use for my work. I am also on a couple of Nissan forums that were very useful when we had the recent problems with the Almera.
I find that, as in real life, you get to know the posters who give sound advice. These pay per question sites are staffed by people who may be very good, but you don't know. My guess is that you can ask one guy a question, pay for that answer then you may get a completely different person the next time.
Forum members generally give much better advice as they usually have nothing to gain from such advice. A quick read through established forums identifies the experienced posters and those who have actually been involved in doing the very same sorts of things that you are looking for help over.
Also, forums win over these pay per question sites because very often your particular problem has already been posted by another member, and answers are out there.
I do 'pay' for advice, not with money but with trying to put back in what I get out. I hope I do OK.
