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.

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.
