Rob, I don't mind comments, suggestions, feedback, or complaints about what I've done with this site. Heck, half of the time I've acted on the issues people have brought to my attention to try to make things better.
However, an ad-hominem attack against another community isn't acceptable. If you have a problem with another community, take it up with them.
And, of course the two sites look similar, they both use the same software. It's called vBulletin, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to run a forum.
