Best forum for RTW threads?

Although i am not a true newbie, I am little bit perplexed as to where to find the best RTW threads, especially those from the past 1-2 years. Specifically, looking for any tool that compares pricing of one alliance versus another, depending on the country of origin.

A promising thread on another forum contains a lot of useful info, and recommended http://www.wandr.me/RTW_Fares.aspx/ - but this is apparently three years old, and the link is no longer valid. Even the root of this URL seems to no longer have any RTW assistance tools.

I suspect that some avid RTW travelers (or those who study the RTW scene) have compiled the comparative costs for OneWorld, StarAlliance or Skyteam from the principal countries of origin. We live in the US, and might choose Skyteam, but not opposed to looking at others -- and I get the advantages of starting in another country and cutting the trip into two pieces (i.s, fly to XXX, start RTW there, make half the trip to get back to the US, wait 6-11 months and make the other half of the RTW).

All recommendations for info on this site or elsewhere will be greatly appreciated.
