The BBS look identical.

 

Basicly, yeah. There used to only be I-Club, but the two guys who where running started fighting over who's toy it was, so they went thier seperate ways, each running a Subaru site. Most people who where on I-Club re-signed up here, and the old I-Club was rnamed NASIOC, and retained all the old I-Club memberships. So same software, and basicly the same members.

 

We're cooler

 

Thanks for the info. I have been posting on NASIOC becausing I am developing in Cluster gauges. I did not bother putting naything up here as I had a lot of response from the NASIOC crowd. You can look over there if you like. If you already have not.

 

It seems like more people use the NASIOC site, lots of people flop between the 2 though.

 

I reckon it's a tradeoff between the two. You'll get more responses on NASIOC on account of sheer volume of users; unfortunately said volume also means the signal-to-noise ratio gets pretty damn low at times.

As for the similarity in appearance, they both use vBulletin software for their forums. Lots of other forums use it too, and they also look similar. clubwrx.net, dsmtalk.com, rs25.com to name a few.
