Tough to say. Bloo has quite a bit going for it over gamers...
* Squad builder
* Collection tracker
* Cleaner interface
* Cleaner graphics (i.e. less clutter)
* Better forum organization
* More active public forums
Gamers has...
* Vsets. The vset discussions take place there, but they're mostly in private forums.
* An active person supporting the site. Shinja has been MIA for quite some time. He's taken these long breaks before, though, and always come back for another update (even if it is pretty late).
I don't quite understand why neither site took it upon themselves to host all the essential resources... hence the birth of swmresources.com. If one site were to step up and take all the SWM traffic, that's the one I would vote for...
* It has the resources already
* It has a clean interface/graphics
* It has an active person supporting it
Add squadbuilder, collection tracker, and forums, and it would be my favorite. That's a lot to add, perhaps, but it seems more reasonable than to expect the gamers interface/graphics to change or to expect shinja to devote any extra time to bloomilk.
However, I actually prefer having multiple sites. If any site goes down temporarily, there's another place to check.
