Figured this would be the place for this.

I put up some threads at WUS and replied to some. They act like I'm not wanted or are beneath them in the shortness of responses. Are they better than us? I don't think so. The dive forum has a few regular posters, and get a ton of responses to there threads no matter how stupid it is.But if I ask a question, The mod. will refer me to a previous post. Snobby? I think so. If you post a new diver they just gloss over it. Well thats my rant for today.

Most of the forums over there have become elitist..............for no valid reason...jmho!  It is probably why they are slipping in the ratings!

Yamahaki-san you may remember I was more or less a regular poster on WUS last year. I posted to the diver forum when wearing a diver and almost always to the affordables forum. I was basically ignored or given curt responses in the diver forum, but did find affordables enjoyable and in fact started the "watch u wearin" thread for quite some time.

Frankly I got bored in affordables which was filled with mostly very nice people but was very monotonous.

The doxa forum has gotten a bit better but I do not visit regularly as it is too much a homogenous bunch of doxa lovers... not that there is anything wrong with that...

What really got me were some of the regulars in the divers forum that I felt were very snobby unless you were wearing a certain watch or actually diving. In fact, I have an aversion to Stowas because of this...

I like to ask silly questions to learn and to engender conversation be it watch related or not. That is why I post all over this forum about a variety of topics and share bits and snippets of my so-called "real" life. At WUS I felt no one was too interested in making any personal connections or revealing too much of themselves beyond a screen name, location and perhaps age... In short, it seemed the diver forum was not a place for me though I enjoy diver's watches. It seemed a bit to Euro eltite for a simple cheesehead like myself...

I think the guys on affordables are great but it really did become redundant. It was also strange at the range of watches which were considered affordable. Everything from Alphas to UNs...

I will say I like it here with this crew and would like to get face to face with some of the crazy mofos we have as members. I sometimes wish we had a bit more going on and that is why you will see me posting stuff all over the board. I aim to be a provocateur...just ask James Haury!! Sorry that's me...
