deletedaccount Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I sometimes visit justcanals, but ti's markedly slower than here and doesn't tolerate 'lively' discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Your best bet is to use Google. It isn't really "good form" to advertise, or disparage, the "competition" (though CWDF tends to get slagged off, repeatedly, elsewhere). I find the others (not being in any way specific) lacking in expert knowledge, too slow, too self-righteous or, in one case, practically devoid of any actual waterways content.

carlt Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 The thing I don't like about forums is how members edit their posts, so others can't gain amusement at their cock-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the grinch Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 It isn't really "good form" to advertise, or disparage, the "competition" (though CWDF tends to get slagged off, repeatedly, elsewhere). why? the other sites are equally entitled to exist on the net and although this site is the most active the others contribute to the subject. i've won a competition on 1 and entered quizes on another. OP no real need for 2 identical posts is there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP no real need for 2 identical posts is there??? Where did I say they weren't entitled to exist? Please don't attribute such rubbish, to me. I just don't think it is good form to specifically slag other forums off, and I understood that to be accepted etiquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecactus Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) The thing I don't like about forums is how members edit their posts, so others can't gain amusement at their cock-ups. Well people complain when you carnt spell and then they complain when you try and correct it. Maybe get a job as a school teacher and then you can nit pick all day long and laugh at their spellig at the same time Blows a big kiss to Carlt I thought you'd mentioned that you already use a few others? There is a lot of forums about subjects other than canals out there. Its a very diverse community of diffrent communities you see. I dunno how I managed to post twice, sorry about that Edited August 10, 2010 by spacecactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine of Hearts Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 It rarely, if ever, happens here. In other places it happens routinely. That's because we're too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to direct fire elsewhere. And I suppose you'll take issue with that, won't you, big nose?

Maybe get a job as a school teacher and then you can nit pick all day long and laugh at their spellig at the same time Blows a big kiss to Carlt I wasn't complaining, I was making a joke, though, admittedly, at your expense. There is a lot of forums about subjects other than canals out there. Ahh! I thought you meant IW forums. I join a forum to research and ask questions about anything I'm interested in or contemplating purchasing. Some of them are entertaining, some are informative but none have held my interest, like this one, despite leaving inland waters 3 years ago. This is the only forum I contribute regularly to.
