I visited that forum briefly, and noted a much rougher, tougher tone to the place.
Members were downright mean to one new member. Poor guy got dragged over hot coals and then flayed for not making his first post in the new member forum. Never seen anything like it, and I visit a lot of forums.
In contrast, the guy who owns this forum couldn't be nicer. I'm biased, because he's helping me get my reliability research rolling with the sticky. But my entire experience with him has been the best. Great guy, and I hope to eventually steer substantial traffic this way. This forum deserves to be more active.
