Business...$$$$
merlin17,
With all due respect to Cliff and his amazing product-line, work-ethic in support, knowledge, etc, he already has our money, and we're generally happy customers! (NOTE: NO ONE one can make everyone happy! I for one am extremely pleased/psyched about the power and the quality of my Axe-FX II!) Besides Cliff's genuine love off all things Fractal Audio Systems from an "audio-performance" perspective, Cliff is also a businessman who is interested in making a profit (as he should be!) At this point, PLEASE...DO NOT take that last statement as a criticism!!! It is not. It is merely an obvious fact about most/all successful, hardworking, driven businessmen/business-owners. It is obvious that Cliff loves what he does and the products he makes. I'm sure he is proud of his accomplishments up to this point, and (luckily for us) he seems to remain super-driven to push the limits/boundaries of what is posssible in our Axe-FX II's, and we are SO FORTUNATE to have a pioneer like Cliff as our "fearless-leader" in charge at Fractal Audio Systems!!! He is brilliant. He's a tireless worker, and he and his excellent staff, the beta-testers...as well as some of the contributing Fractal-Forum Members themselves, ("us" - lol!) all contribute to some degree I suppose...
By posting over at TGP, Cliff has the opportunity to reach out (or atleast pique the interest of) lots of potential/future Axe-FX purchasers/owners! Besides that, lots of our regular F.A.S. forum-members post over at TGP I've noticed. In addition to all that I've cited already, there is also the reality that once in a while, some "misinformation" starts to circulate on TGP, (sometimes here on the Fractal Forums too - LOL!) I wonder if Cliff sometimes just feels compelled to "set the record straight" regarding (for example) "future firmware-content speculation" (6.00....the "p-word"....etc!) or as someone else alluded to already here in this thread, perhaps Cliff just needs a little break from the intense pressure/scrutiny which seems to accompany the "head-honcho-ism" that goes along with contributing ONLY on these (F.A.S.) forums? BTW, I think Jay Mitchell is a frequent TGP contributor, (Yeah, yeah, I know he is no longer a Fractal Forum member!) but TGP is probably a good place (lots of views/members) to get one's ideas out to the "masses." I.E. Jay Mitchell's/Atomic's CLR FRFR-Monitor product-threads over at TGP.
Who knows...Maybe Cliff is sick of idiots like me speaking...err..."speculating" on his behalf - LOL! ...FTL...My bad!!!

Why is Cliff often posting new stuff on TGP instead of here?
