I don't think it's necessary for the designer of a part to be involved in a discussion for the discussion to be informative, interesting, and even illuminating. After all, Porsche doesn't have reps online in the discussion forums defending every complaint against their cars or addressing the claims that their parts are insufficient.
I have never heard of PPBB deputies deleting posts or banning people for no reason. And they do respond to questions about why posts have been deleted.
The archives for PPBB are available and they prove that Jake's posts are mostly about self-promotion, self-aggrandizement, putting others down, and little about informative content.
I don't doubt that Jake has a lot of valuable experience and information but as far as PPBB is concerned, it's not a big loss for the above-mentioned type of posts to be discontinued.
