    I joined CDB not long after it started, but didn't really get on with it for a couple months, but when I finally did, I started using it loads. Although there are lots of things I prefer on MSE (like general chatting, the mag dailies and the puzzles etc.), so I do use both. The good thing about CDB is you can comment on features you'd like or changes and they will actually implement them (maybe in week, months or even years, but eventually!). MSE are, understandably, at the mercy of the forum format as a whole and can't make changes that would be good for compers only. Whereas, CDB have made loads of changes and improvements and I know some people who tried it years ago or last year and didn't like it, but then tried it again recently and prefer it now that there are more features etc. All comp sites seem to have a few mistakes and limitations, so I use different ones for different things, but I'm on MSE and CDB 99% of the time. It's all comes down to personal preference really and of course it takes a while to get used to new things :)

    Thanks for that.

    I think I like MSe for the chat but would like a better way to sort the competitions.

    I don't really know. I suppose MSE is just like an old comfort blanket.

    i use CDB a lot, i like the way it is set out in time ending order, you can ignore all competitions from a particular company, they do miss a few competitions, but if there is a comp that is starting and ending quickly it is put to the top so you wont miss it (like twitter party etc) the way the competitions are posted is different too so less likely to get dupes. the chat is a better idea with it being on the side of the page so you can carry on comping and chat as you go along but in my opinion the chat box is too low. i do prefer the atmosphere here and i always feel my loyalties lie with MSE as i have been here sooooooooooooooooo long, but i dont think i would use 1 exclusively anymore but i like to flick between the two of them :)

    I might dip my toe in the water by doing just say twitter from CBD now and again. At least I can't dupe myself on twitter.
