I have actually been on that other one for a long time, but something recently made me question some of the things that are said on it or not said and while their knowledge is amazing in many areas, something doesn't fit for me. I don't jump around, but before deciding on forums did look around to make sure I joined sites I was going to be happy with.
As a new member, I thought I'd add a comment.
I am a member of another site and also view one other on a regular basis. Whilst the members on this site post a lot of really useful information and there's a lot of useful discussion, what really puts me off is various members' commenting on politics and religion. The old saying about not commenting on religion or politics has stood the test of time for a very good reason.
Personally, I can accept someone has different views to me, but I don't think it's relevant for a 'survival/prepper' site to basically slag off a whole section of society just because of their religion/job/political viewpoint. In my view it devalues what would otherwise be a very good site.
