)
Whatever it is, it has certainly enjoyed some success since it has
something like [b]71 members in the first 3 days! sgforums took
300-odd days to reach its peak level as one of the top
forums... now it sits on No.10 
Anyway, I think SINbus may even surpass this forum one day,
TIB529A, you know what? It's up to you whether you want to go and
join, it seems like u have some kind of loyalty to this place, but
there are some pretty good discussions going on there, with the
experts helping out... it's your choice, ultimately![/b]
this is only my view, if i offended someone, i will apologise
here.
The new forum can get so much popularity is because it has been
posted here, with so many bus enthu here. As also 1 of the bus
enthu, i will surely go to tat forum and see. But in the case of
SGforums, it is really very difficult to gain its popularity with
nothing to promote the forum at its beginning! So its really sad if
SGforums closes down.
I agree that SINbus is a very user-friendly forum, with no
argument, no quarrels. But don't u see taht the topic there are
repeated like the topics here. For example bus guides, off topics
etc. If you basically go to the 2 forums, u might see the same
thing, same content. Moreover, the topics here are more and much
more member here can provide information about buses. And u will
surely see that a topic can have a lot of reply ( do not count the
arguments).
A lot of memebers doesn't mean there's a lot of suggestins/reply. I
signed up like a memeber there too. But i have only written one
reply at the off-topic columm.
Although SINbus have a lot of experts, it doesn't mean it will be
as so bustly as SGforums.
These are only my views and i do not mean to say bad things of
SINbus.
