questions about the "other" forum

[pbpersson]

I'll always be grateful to Bravehearts, that's how I found this little rabble of kilts. But to be honest - I find their forums almost impossible to navigate. XMarks is a much more enjoyable experience.

I used to post there months ago under a different name before I was a real kilt wearer. I told them that software had to go - but their board is still weird looking.

I think I will stay here.

I, too, found Xmarks through Bravehearts, but never posted there. I like this forum better for discussion. (I spend waaay too much time here, I like it so much.)

I sometimes refer to the other kiltmen web pages for links to other sites, however.

Good question,

Geoffrey (Tailor) - Kiltmakers and Weavers - Home had it when I checked.

I am guess you had the top spot for a bit there Rocky Oh, the ever revolving world of kilts.

I'd have to agree




well, the top in the sponsered section

I looked at both in my "lurker" days. I settled here b/c:

-Not interested in Men in skirts
JUST KILTS

-found this one helpful, the other-> confusing to look at

-People "in the know" seemed to be here

-I like the more "family" atmosphere (especially no cussing-> tired of F word for no purpose in so many forums)

-more informative here in "how to" stuff

In the end, its the members/posters and the moderators that make the difference. Here -> on good behavior

One reason I am no longer on a car related forum is that I posted a review of a product. I typed in word, then "cut and pasted" it to forum. One phrase in 3 page post-> "production piece number 1" which the manufacturer was very proud of, so I mentioned it. One poster sent me hate mail for 3 MONTHS -> 2 after I left the site. She was just insane. I do not expect a repeat here. In fact, that is what kept me from joining for a couple months. I wanted to get a good feeling of tone before I posted ANYTHING.

I like this forum, the ease of the software, and the "atmosphere." I'm really not interested in looking elsewhere anymore. If I am curious about something or have a question, I start a thread, experts and opinions come soon, and I am satisfied.

Hightide, I salute you on your efforts here. Also, thanks to the moderators (you all seem like truly decent guys/folks).
I am one satisfied user.

Looks like they have the #4 spot...

Who's that at # 1 though? HAHAHA

I guess I am just a good webmaster!

PS - Colin check the US google database. The CA one might be different results...

I stumbled on kiltmen.com over 6 years ago while looking for information on a kilt which I planned to buy for the millenium year.

The forum and its software may be terribly out of date but it still has great articles and essays... esp. for the novice kilt wearer. I don't post there much but I still check in regularly. WDP hinted recently that he had entertained the thought of shutting it down due to health concerns.

If for some reason that happens, I hope he at least keeps the essays up or perhaps gets a blog going. It would be a shame to see the site disappear.

I find the Braveheart forums almost impossible to navigate. I almost never go there because it drives me nuts... I have nothing agains the people over there, I just can't stand the format..

[The Wizard of BC]

I feel a google bomb mood coming on.

Must just be revolving. When I checked the US one, I got Kilts.biz in #1 and Bear #2 and than MacIsaac Kiltmakers in #5. Funny that when you check the US google 3 Canadian companies are in the top 5. Those darn metatags

At least everyone is getting a shot at number one, so they are all winners.
