I'm sure a lot of participants in Speccy forums over recent years (both WoS and SC) can make up their minds. Aside from the jokey pic a few posts earlier I haven't said much about it, but I haven't posted on the WoS forums for years now, there was too much unnecessary arguing and banning that could have easily been avoided. WoSsers are pretty sound though, despite a lack of culinary skills in some areas...
Until recently I was still visiting the WoS site regularly, but without sounding like a grumpy old git
("Too late for that!" - Ed) I just can't find anything now. Aside from the database issues, the new site renders badly on both desktop and mobile, there are lots of basic design and navigation errors, its lists are slow and cumbersome, and any useful functions I used to use to find things are now gone. I really don't know what I would suggest, other than "please get a professional web designer in to re-do it from scratch, perhaps consulting a real site user or two". But we all know how well that suggestion would go down...
In contrast, I think [mention]PeterJ[/mention] has taken a good approach to this site and forum, encouraging participation and suggestions without wrangling, and making good use of the expertise of technically competent helpers and contributors. It's a 'community' after all.
For me SC is functional and easy to use. It's not about competition or taking sides - it's about creating something open and welcoming that people want to participate in and contribute to. People will be drawn to that, I wouldn't worry about doing much else. Nobody's got a monopoly on Speccy stuff, there are tons of places you can visit around the interwebs (and back on topic, a lot of them now use ZXDB
)
