Ok, I must be the only person who visits and is active daily on both boards, so here is my full and complete synopsis:
TMK +s
More members signed up
Simple forum design
Less spam topics
Relativly few pop-up ads
TMK -s
Less active members (Believe it or not, you'd be hard-pressed to find 10-15 that post on General Mario Chat. I might be able to do it, but it would require thought. I am tired.)
Slow loading times (For me anyway)
The fact I can't figure out the HTML trick. I even copy-pasted a post someone else made using HTML and it didn't work. Hmmmmm...
Relativly inactive Moderators
TUNMB +s
More topics updated daily
More moderators (I even moderate one of the boards)
It isn't just Mario. (This is a BIG thing for me, but for some others...)
No flaming! At least not internally on the board, anyway.
Avatars. Avatars are cool.
TUNMB -s
Not that many members (less than 100)
Ratings system based solely on post count (Encourages spamming)
Confusing board layout! Too many individual forums.
The severe and overly strict rules. (To prove this: I put up an avatar today which was a sign reading: "No tresspassing. Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." and it may be deemed to objectable to use. Obviously SOMEONE doesn't watch the news at all...)
There you have it. They both have major strengths and weaknesses, and therefore neither board makes me want to leave the other. Therefore, I am wholly AGAINST any kind of war. I don't wish to be in trouble due to my neutrality.
Thank you, that is, if you read that whole thing. I hope you all consider it so that nothing bad happens between the 2 sites.
The people of TUNMB should really STOP advertising on TMK. They don't need ads for another site. You said it once; it was locked.
The TMK people should respect (Or attempt to respect) the fact that several of the members prefer TUNMB. Of course, they shouldn't advertise the site.
NOTE: In no way am I advertising or advocating either site. I am stating my neutral opinions and my discontent for the idea of a stupid war. Real wars are stupid, and often futile (The one exception was WWII.) Site wars are the same way.
I am not a people person. In fact, I`m more of an anti-people person.
I respect your post. As long as you don''t insult my intelligence in it.
