    TWC is an unfriendly place. A place with a community that is too large. The Org however is a nice (reasonably) small site which is personalized with things such as the forum skins. The Org is like a little village where everybody knows everybody while TWC is a huge city (like London) where nobody knows anybody. TWC is just too modern and too large.
    TWC is very large and expaning rapidly. I agree that the Org is probably much friendler, small communities tend to be. I joined up for the Org so I could post in the EB forum. When I found out I couldn't edit my posts etc. I left the Org (posting wise) and moved to TWC. All the ranks at TWC were a bit daunting at first, but once I got to understand them and started to get to know people better, TWC became my interent home. The Civitates system at TWC means people who stick around and post well/mod etc. are rewarded, and the community of Civitates at TWC is much like the small community here at the Org.
    I know a lot, probably most, of the active TWC members, things just take a while at TWC, but the friendliness towards 'noobs' helps. That is the only downside of the Org in my opinion. Whereas TWC's downside could be it's size. The Org also has a better forum layout, but we are changing the one at TWC, so that should be just as good.

    The Org is the best forum that I ever signed up to and as an added bonus it has the most friendly staff out of any forum that I have ever seen in my lifetime. Hooray for the conservative and freindly Org!
    Are you saying that the staff at TWC aren't friendly? *feels insulted*

    They're friendlier here, probably because they're based in one forum (sometimes two) and have their name at the bottom of the forum screen which adds a sort of personal, individual touch, whereas at TWC mods are ferried from one forum to the other and it's not as easy to find out who mods where. Add the super moderators who can mod anywhere, it all gives a feeling of a sort of faceless group of mods.

    You know that isn't true, I've always moderated the same forum at TWC. I agree about the 'who's moderating' bit at the bottom though, it is a lot easier to find out here. If I'm such a faceless mod why are you talking to me on MSN?

    The Org and TWC are going to grow substantially in the next few days, that is a fact...

    And I don't know where this TWC being unfriendly thing comes from? If you stay away from me you should be fine...
