"BFE" was actually interesting when it was an amateur site with, in that 04 Red sox way, "a bunch of idiots" asking question in an amazed way.  It never had, and still doesn't have, the usefulness or sophistication of TER.  What it does have now is a few professional wanna be hobbyists that actually believe that there is a template, which they then believe they are entitled to set, for a what a good provider is, a good session is, a good price is, a good looking provider is, and good hobbyist behavior is.  

I actually agree with you about the avatars (THEY ARE NOT ICONS, HOW DARE YOU?).  I actually go to the site for the avatars.

I think there is plenty of room for all the boards in our community

Each board has it's own "flavor" and - in my experience - the same guys belongs to most of them, some using the same handles, some not.

TER Philly board is mostly for the...Philly area, there is hardly any activity for New Jersey.

New Jersey is a big State and the hobby community is HUGE, the market is plentiful of $$$ for the providers who are willing to set shop in any of the major NJ areas = NNJ, CNJ and SNJ.

The guys from all areas of NJ asked, many times, for TER to create a board just for them. It didn't happen and made NJ hobbyists frustrated because they either had to check the Philly or NYC board for their needs.

The BGFE board is couple years old and it was created primarily to fill the New Jersey void...reason they are growing and getting very popular.

New Jersey community has been ignored and BGFE appeared just in the right time to supply the demand for a more detailed NJ coverage.

I bet if TER create a New Jersey Board, many people will flock to post and advertise.

Because of the nature of what we do, our community should be united instead of attacking or slinging mud to each other.

Can we all get along?
