Not true.
David Sultan does a good job, except:
a) he doesn't do this for a job as I do
b) he started forums just to compete this one, but doesn't post as much as I do (I just passed 7000 for crying out loud!)
Hence, the forum activity was generated at first by Sebastien, then when he started working, I took over, most people remember I wasn't posting THAT much before...
Plus, the forum system is done by me, I can adapt it to the way everybody wants, which is not the case for a forum system you pay as a service.. like it or not, I can make this evolve the way I want, which is not the case with others...
So it's technically different, there were other forums over there, we're not the only one, but I guess we filled a need people had from the start, and this is why the forum is so popular..
To be honest, we had a forum before this version of it, and it was never as popular.. think about it, we get 250 messages PER DAY, that is probably what most New Order related sites get in a month!
But anyways, you can't compete too much, as it's not meant to be the same, NewOrderOnline is my "work-in-progress", my school if you want, I learn for my job when working for it, and my biggest success story, so it's very high ranked on my resume... so I work on it a lot, too much probably (and this Community thing sure doesn't help
)
