Sister-site or twin-site? Programmingforums.

Expand Post »
Could someone tell me what the big difference(s) is between and Daniweb and is so-called sister site programmingforums. The only difference I see is a slightly different layout and a change of colours.

There's a different set of forums and a different culture.

PFO is strictly for programming while Daniweb is geared more toward general IT.

Most of the forums I see there are on Daniweb. How's the culture different there than here in Daniweb's programming sub-forums?

True but I could say PFO is the same as Daniweb's programming sub-forum.

I'm sure the PFO regulars would be thrilled to know that you dismiss them so readily.

Re: Sister-site or twin-site? Programmingforums.

PFO consists of more hardcore programmers, and is strictly forums. The interface is also slimmed down.

DaniWeb is more full-featured, in that we have blogs, a code snippet library, various Javascript-enhanced features, etc.

There have never been plans to merge the two sites.
