    Other Forums Suck

    I recEntly checked out the eyecare section on the visioncareforums.com. I am constantly back and forth checking out a few different eye related forums and I am Starting to realize that the more I read posts on this forum, the longer the intervals are that I go and check some of the others and then today it hits me. The other forums pale in comparison, the knowledge is watered down and usually comes from non-educated guesses. I have come to rely on these forums as a depository of optical knowledge and thank everyone for letting me be a part of them. Have a Happy Holidays everyone, I will see you in the new year.

    Harry, the success of this forum has an awful lot to do with the caliber of our members. The forum itself is just an extremely well organized meeting place.Much of what you see on these pages has been designed or requested by members.Its the brainchild of Steve Machol who continues to lead us in this evolution. It is not true that other sites are bad, its just that Optiboard is the cutting edge. Our mission is to keep it there.

    Some statistics on optical forums.......................

    Had to delete, as it would not format properly, so you better look at the original at http://optochemicals.com/web_ratings.htm and scroll right to the bottom where the optical forums are listed. If you have anu other I did not know of please let me have their URL's.
