TWC or the Org?

I really dont know which is a more official and elaborite site. Which has a better community, better mods, better informed? I know the result will be horribly biased, but I just really dont know.

I don't know if it's because I was a member here first, but I've always liked the .Org more than TWC. I am a member at TWC but hardly visit there. There's not really a reason why I just like the Org more.

I feel the same way for TWC.

I joined the Org first, and I know the lads in Org alot better then those in TWC.

Org for me

Truth be told, I actually visited TWC first, for the mods for RTW.

However, the layout and the groups and everything was too confusing, so when M2TW was coming out, I stumbled across the org and have never looked back. I even got quite a few people to sign up, including Beefy.

COME BACK BEEFY WE MISS YOU

TWC is much more alive regarding mods, strategies and stuff, and I mostly go there to get informations and news mod-wise.

But it also has much more annoying people, 13 yo 'lol u suk' people, and non-english speaking people who are barely understandable.

I visit both forums and comparing them is completely unnecessary. They are fostered by the same community.

I mostly do ETW modding lately so... TWC for me as the ETW modding area here doesn't seem to have a lot of visitors (put kindly).

Since M2TW mods have just got much more exposure on the TWC... Tosa does his best but it doesn't look like we can have two quality places for modding.

Edit: For better site though, I wouldn't like to make a decision, they both have vantages (ad- and disad-). So I won't vote ;)

My view is very different on that topic. I don't vote, but give a personal reflection on that topic.
Given the fact, that i have limited time to organise/work on modding projects and browse through forums, it would be TWC (and i had to do a decision as the SCC site went down, where the Chivalry TW project was hosted primarily).

--

I believe i knew the Org earlier than TWC, at times as M1TW did exist a while, i lurked here the first time (support and mods), and then as RTW came out, short after i registered at Org and on TWC.

TWC then had the RTW-RTR mod presence in those times. That was the thing what kept me at TWC.

Then the TWC hack happened, and other things, the original RTR mod forum was created, where i joined quite early. The RTR forum was then for me the place (as RTW-RTR sitemod creator and member of the TFT mod project, later renamed to FRRE).

The Org at this time was then for me always a place to research for modding guides and tools, but not to post.

TWC was the place to have a little representation of modding efforts, but not to post a lot, because, yes, TWC wasn't a place for modders at this time.
Much too much crazy political things went on there, and non-mod or TW game related discussion was promoted much more than modding things.

All this is until 2005 and partly 2006.

The change on TWC came at the end of 2006, as the TWC site got its complete reform (owner-change etc., as above by others already explained).
Since then, TWC is a quite good place for modders, parallel the RTR-forum was crushed more and more (disappeared, due to the forum-structure-changes, by accident then later completely).
Info for the newbies: The RTR forum site grew to a huge community within the year 2005 (hosted a lot other mod projects), at this time, TWC was a little site only, and the Org was much more a place for modders and mod fans as TWC.

Else:
The non-modding-related things on TWC are of less interest for me, as mainly, the "discussions" (ie. the political mudpit) is of non-mature.
The TWC rep and political etc. system is quite ridicoulous to me, but surely a nice playground for some wanna-be politicians ;) ... i had also a little dispute with 1-2 TWC moderators (those moderators: for me noobs, at this time, what makes the thing much more annoying) who easily gave me 2-times infraction-points, it was partly a thing that i thought about to leave TWC incl. the hosted Chivalry TW project there, where i'm the mod leader since 2006.

The Org has in my view only one problem: Its appearence, the skin and structure - it is not state-of-the-art in my opinion.
TWC has clearly a better structure, although it is that big. The structures are modern forum structures, as it should be. In principle you can't do something wrong if you are searching for something and have not your eyes closed.
Unfortunately i had and have always problems to get through on Org. If the Org would do it in modernised structures, i eventually would prefer the Org, because it is, as a lot other said already above, of a much bigger mature atmosphere, yes.
