Perhaps it's a bad thing, but I've found that ever since I've joined TalkBass, I can't stand any other forums due to their software usually being sub-par in comparison. I know it costs a fair amount to keep this forum up and running, and I'm sure the software itself isn't too cheap, so cheers to those in charge!
I find I can't even stand to use other forums sometimes, even just for minimal differences, because I'm used to TB and honestly I think the way this forum runs is great.
Has this happened to anyone else?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Somewhere in Canada | | I've found that with another forum actually, but it's a Computer Science forum. I figured it might have to do with how us computer scientists act, or perhaps your status on the forum. How well-known were you on these other forums?
A few years back, I was a frequent member of the Black Sabbath forums over at http://www.black-sabbath.com and the members were all respectful there too (albeit swearing was allowed over there so whether that qualifies as being "respectful" or not is a different matter, but I mean in terms of how they treat others).
TB is quite respectful because the rules (and the diligent mods) keep it that way.

TheGearPage.net is the only other non-company forum I visit often, and it's mostly due to the VBulletin setup, although theirs isn't set up quite the same (can't search for 3-letter words, etc.) |

Except sometimes someone from the Gibson forums will go over and be like "Gibson rules!!!", and its really childish. Its funny cause nobody seems to care. Yeah, I was really active there until I joined TB, I now have a problem getting around there cause its nothing like TB (software wise) Quote:
