I'm interested in GIAC program, is it good?
seem like some ppl here has their cert.
but its so expensive, isn't it? why would some ppl get their cert?? I mean what infomation I missed that it worth that much?

Thank you very much

Most likely because it is hard to pass any of their exams without going to the certification classes. As I understand it their exams are not available at test centers (someone can correct me if I am wrong.)

Security Certifications - TechExams.net IT Certification Forums

tends to cover most of it.

What they charge is in-line with other courses. You can study the same material from other sources; they just don't put out anything besides the official courseware.

They just aren't discussed enough to create a separate forum for them.

Over at www.cccure.org there is a GCFW forum, but none for the other GIAC certs. And I've never found any discussion forums at www.sans.org.

Oh, if you're looking off-site, EH has them: The Ethical Hacker Network - EH-Net - Index

They are highly worth it. I recently completed the GCFW via the self-study material and I learned quite a lot. The books are extremely valuable and I will use them professionally for years to come. As Dynamik said, the default security forum on here is sort of the GIAC board. There just isn't enough GIAC activity to warrant its own message board.
