I'm always shocked by how awful all the other sites are to be frank. They must all come here and look around like children in awe of seeing the ocean for the first time.
Let's not get above ourselves! Most oppo fans probably come on here, see the gargantuan number of ads, including some covering key navigation, freeze up their mobile the first thread they look at, then decide never to return! I've read a few comments to that effect...
I've noticed most of the forums actually use similar frameworks to ours, so really it's down to the content.
Since I'm not judging oppo forums by what they think of us (which is a bit sad to be honest), I'd say I actually quite like the Stoke forum and find it quite similar to Owlstalk. Few ads, and no censorship (by the way I appreciate we have to be careful for a reason!). I like edgier though. There are some right tools on there, like most clubs - I think they're more obvious because they can say what they like. Also I always think the more fans on a forum the better. Some big clubs hardly have any posters, Middlesboro being one, surprisingly. Ours is pretty good in that respect!
Ipswich have a terrible one. Just a jumble of threads, completely random, someone needs to get a hold of it!
Where we are truly blessed is GoS. It really is incredible.
