I haven't spent much time on the other Patrol forum, only because I have felt my needs have been met here. I guess I might go to the other for info if I couldn't get it here though. If there were insufficient 'room' for both Patrol forums one would be showing signs of withering & dying. I see no such signs here. I'm guessing the other is well patronised too? Some want forums to be their advisor/library - there just to use. Some want the social side that goes with being part of a community. Both are valid, & different forums can reflect different priorities to suit.
