For me it's simple. Bloo Milk does what I need. I can enter my collection and build squads, which is great, but the major kicker is that Bloo Milk can match your wants with everyone else's trades. That's huge to me. I can "one stop shop" here so I don't have to use another site. Beyond that I've seen and heard things said from Gamers folks that I don't like. I won't elaborate because none of us needs the drama.

Here's a thought for you, and anybody who approaches the situation like you do.

Say for instance that you really like cheeseburgers. In your life, you've tried all sorts of different places. But there's this one place, Burger King, that you've NEVER tried before. You have absolutely no idea what their cheeseburgers taste like. Some people say to you "Oh man, their cheeseburgers are great, you should try one sometime" but other people say "Man, those people at Burger King suck and the cheeseburgers they make are gross". Well, you consider yourself a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, so what would you do? Would you just take what people have said, or would you go sometime and try out those cheeseburgers for yourself?

I know it's a stupid example, but that's what this is like. We will only be a strong community when we are ONE community. The SWMGamers website lobbied for Shinja to just add host his collection tracker and squad builder at SWMGamers when he was first working on it, but he decided to build his own site instead, and that's cool. But ultimately, we are still one big cheeseburger (SWM) loving group, and it's in the best interest for everyone, if we all band together and cook the best cheeseburgers we possibly can. This can't be accomplished if the cooks at McDonald's are sitting in their kitchen with their recipes, and the cooks at Burger King are sitting in theirs, and neither is sharing. The problem at this point, is that the Burger King guys WANT to be one big community, but many times the McDonald's guys act like they don't want anybody else in their kitchen.

Now, that analogy applies to people on BOTH forums. We all have those stupid attitudes sometimes of one site being better than the other and stuff. One is NOT better than the other....they are just DIFFERENT. I urge all of you to at least sign up on Gamers if you haven't before. Hit the 'View New Posts' button once in a while. If you don't see anything you like, then don't post anything. Nothing wrong with that. But then you'll at least know what's going on over there as well. And when things come up, you can make informed posts about both sites, rather than being in the dark.

YES! What he said

I can also see all the cheesburgers that they offer here. There's not a cool secret menu that not everyone can see.

On the pod cast shinga said that he was the only one that could do that and would do that.

Of course there is. I'm sure I'm not the only one who occasionally sees links to a "Moderator" board in the recent posts section that regular members aren't allowed to access.

I've seen there cheeseburgers too and went "OMG" at some of their menu offerings.....but i still go back to see whats current.....

I've seen their cheeseburgers. They're fine. They just have a few on the wait staff that need to be fired before the resturant gets good reviews. Although, there's a few more on the staff that are truely good people.

Nailed it. Dean made one simple request, that has yet to have been addressed in a communicative answer to Dean.

I concur



I only sort of concur, in my dealing with Lucasfilm, they are usually okay with stuff if you aren't making a profit.
