Is there any difference between Patrol forums?

[Jonesy_sa]

guys,
I just accidentally posted the same thing across this forum and the other big patrol forum. I read more than post however is their any real difference between the two? Is one more for technical advice and the other 4x4, or is one quieter than the other, etc... They look equally good to me.
Not sure if we can discuss this?
cheers

[Avo]

I'm only on this one so can't really comment..but i do like this one alot

[Clunk]

The other one has been going for a lot longer, so no doubt has more info....... I havent posted on the other as I prefer winding up the mods and admin here

Seems you have a different interpretation of "accidentally" to me....

I don't know, try posting this question on the "other big forum" and we will compare replies.

[Jonesy_sa]

I posted then for the life of me could not find the post so reposted. Obviously I could not find it as I was looking on a different forum. That's what happens when you have too many tabs open.
Generally I post to forum of any genre if I know someone has great knowledge on the subject on that forum. As of late however its simply which ever forum has tapatalk access

[BigRAWesty]

I find the blokes here a lot more welcoming and it's a much more Layed back forum here..
Great for a chat etc..
An absolute pick to and find info threw clunk and g man's 40 plus thousand posts of dribble lol..
I'm on the other forum but don't visit too often..

[Bacho86]

When I got my first patrol a few years ago I joined up with both of the forums.

Personally I've found this place to be a friendly bunch of people with great knowledge and never ended up using the other site.

Plus the Melbourne chapter is very active and there are
regular trips and meet ups

I guess if you're on both, read both and post in both you'd have more idea than most of us here.

This forum stays more on topic and doesn't get polluted by the political and racist rubbish.
I also post on both forums.

[MyGU8]

I am registered on both forums too, but didn't get a chance to post on the other.

For me, both forums have excellent knowledge.

This forums is very friendly but doesn't mean the other one isn't but I am active only in this forum.

At the end, forum is a forum, where you discuss things and share knowledge so if you can find the knowledge grab it.

On a side note I haven't seen a forum like FreeBSD anywhere else in the internet. Each post will be moderated (spelling, wording, references, etc.) and it makes a lot of difference when you search for particular information.

Same here.

[threedogs]

Tried to enroll in the "THE OTHER" forum, got no response so emailed AB and he signed me up.
So far I have laughed [a lot] cried [a little], been angry and happy.
Some members here I now class as great friends.
Cant comment on any other forums as its taking far to long to get the hang of this one lol

[Winnie]

I started out using the other forum, got sick of the attitude of a few of the members there, seems they wanted to make an argument out of anything.
Signed up here and the people seemed a lot friendlier and more keen to help out. Plus the Victorian members have heaps of meet ups too which is great.

[TPC]

This forum is much better except there are too many bloody Victorians on here.

Shut up you!!!!!

[the evil twin]

I use both forums and have noted the following differences;
One is a blue theme and the other is red;
One is definitely more relaxed about 'animated, passionate exchanges' sparking up between members and the other not so much.
One is better suited for trolling and the other for sarcasm;
One has advice gained from bitter experience the other has people who know their shit 'cause they made the same cockup;
One is more tolerant of dickheads like ; (preceding space deliberately left blank but you know who you are)
One leans slightly more towards mods and comps and the other leans slightly more towards touring and travel
Some users have the same name on both others do not;
Some users only use one Forum and some others only the other;
Some users post the same question on both and get the same answer (win);
Some users post the same question on both and get different answers (???);
Some users despise the other forum and other users despise the other forum; (that actually makes sense if you think about it)

I have a significant respect for many people on either Forum but for whatever reason I personally feel significantly more comfortable on this one and limit my posts on the other to pretty much the technical aspects only.

[4bye4]

Some users post the same question on both and get the same answer (win);
Some users post the same question on both and get different answers (???);

Some users post the same question on both forums and get twice as many different answers.

Same here, I thought I got banned or something, I've given up.

No

Sometimes you post the same question twice and still get no answers

I only came here for the manuals and only went there to get some manuals, now that I have all the manuals I need my Patrol sits in the driveway unloved, I now drive a crappydore ( when it works ) and I use facebook instead cause its way better than both forums put together, so much answers and love in Patrol FB groups.

It's sorta like an emergency site..

[Softy]

The other Forum is my main one.. I find this one a bit boring, but i am always lurking and reading. It is amazing how much information there is collected between both sites. Then there is FB... But a lot of stuff i read on there i wouldn't take with a grain of salt. I mainly use it to stirr the TD42 boys up.... Like shooting fish in a barrel. :lol:

[gf0012-aust]

registered on both

the other one is my main one - and thats really only because it was the first I started to look at before registering as a member
lurk on here, but tend to find that all the answers I want are on the other, and if they're newbies they'll post on both anyway - so you get the same answer basically in stereo

I'd agree that there are a few too many trolls and racists on the other one - but on ratio you have to look at the active members to realise that its running with that ratio and is not abnormal. I stayed away from all forums for about 6 months at one stage as I was getting fed up with the behaviour of some - so felt some time away from all was good therapy

I think I left this one because I copped some idiotic PM's from some muppet who wanted to carry on a bit - wasn't worth upping to the mods (I mod elsewhere so know the pain of being a mod at times) - so I de-camped

the "them vs us" mindset I find a bit tedious anyway - as both forums have their pros and cons. there's been and there are dickheads in both forums. all gets down to personal tolerance levels and how we deal with the issues individually.

selection all comes down to a game of two up really. :)

[taslucas]

I don't think there's been any "us VS them" at all in this thread. It's just been keeping with the op of "is there any difference "

>>>tappin from tassie

wasn't suggesting that - it was an observation being made as there can be an opportunity for tribalism to take hold - and it last manifested itself around the time that P4x4 had site problems.

the mods in here checked that behaviour very quickly.
