By "other site" we assume you mean Still's.
I'm a member there (as well as many other sites) and am obviously interested in 'artillery' pistols
[coff, coff] but have only about a hundred posts there. There's just too many niche sub-forums. Forty, if you discount the site sub-forums; compared with 20 here. I'll follow a link here that sounds interesting, or I'll look for members who are banned here but have many interesting, provocative, and thoughtful threads/posts over there. I'm not nailed to a certain sub-class or variation of Luger; I like the broad view that is more prevalent here.
Still's is where you go if you
know what you have. Jan has a sub-forum devoted to it. If you're unsure, or new, or just want to know what that is in your grandmother's attic trunk, then this is the better place to inquire.
I think most members of Still's forum are like me: They read the sub-forums that interest them. Here you get a much broader view. There's only one or two sub-forums here that I don't browse through. At Still's, I probably ignore 34 of the 40. It's just too specialized. Great for the collector who knows what he has and wants to know who Inspector 34 was, what he did, his wife & dogs name, but not much there to interest me.
Here, you get a wide range of armchair experts who are all sure that their beliefs are the correct ones. And, due to the laws of chance, sometimes they are.

I agree with Ed's comment on silent members. There are hundreds of zero-post members here [possibly thousands]. There's people here who have albums but no posts. WTF??? If they haven't commented in six months or a year, delete them.
