There's your biggest difference bt TZ and PP
Openness. TZ doesn't/can't trust their 'audience'. TZ has to treat them like children. So the moderators are put in the awkward position of acting like parents completely out of patience with no sense of humor or a very bad sense of humor--again excluding...
i guarantee you that such post will get deleted within minutes
and followed by a post from michael sandler threatening you that "you will not win" ;-)
Two great information sources to learn from.
No better, no worse. It's all about sharing, to me. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do. Vte
I'm fairly new to both but...
so far I have to say that I like the interface of Purist better and easier to use and navigate. But I think timezone might have more subscribers, therefore more content.
Content and forum speed
This is an interesting dilemma and one that I am acutely aware of. One of the things many people liked about PuristS was (is) the carefully considered nature of the posts and the way they could develop a life of their own beyond the original question. Thi...
The other term for this is "thread hijacking"
It is against some forum etiquette to go off on tangents in a thread. Personally, I find it valid if the talk is good and overall, the thread keeps its integrity. I've certainly been guilty of doing this. On some forums, threads can turn into sophomoric f...
"Off topic" is a relative issue
I am happy if it goes in unexpected directions, although I acknowledge that we have different tolerances for this. It all depends on the intent of the contributor, and mostly I find that PuristS do it for the right reasons - to open up a line of thought t...
:-) We are lucky to have a lot of great folks here...
...on the site like you, and Andrew! Cheers, Daos
TZ and PuristSPro are Complemtary and Not Competitive
Each has its own personality and each is filled with extremely knowledgeable and friendly members. I have made many friends on both and would encourage anyone interested in furthering their knowledge to not only visit these two wonderful forums but others...
I would like to hope so
Actually, there are many forums that each have their own flavor. Thanks to WatchUSeek, I met a local enthusiast who invited me to a GTG where I met Dr.No, who then invited me here. I now know a lot of people from different forums that I get together with....
the difference is significant
anthony tsai appears to be a true gentleman who is fair but michael sandler over at timezone is a hypocrite.
Spot on
I was accuse by the owner at TZ of having 2 accounts which I didn't. i tried to register at least 4 times before My I got in. But that's nothing compared to watchgeeks, I used to be on there, They'll ban u for speaking the truth.
Guys... Kevin and GC
Enough... Surely there are better ways to express your views than name calling. We are all adults here. In the past when you all felt slighted, you posted your views here. Does it really serve any purpose to re-open that wound now? Where does that get you...
