Curiosity killed the cat

Just wondering:

Are these 3 sites from the same source, the reason I ask is because they feel and sorta look identical.

www.macOsx.com
www.mac-forums.com
www.macusers.org

Like I said I'm just curious.

No, we are not affiliated with those sites. Actually we don't look at like them so I'm not sure why you'd think we were same.

they are all vBulletin boards....that might be why they look similar

They don't look the same to me either.

ok

maybe it's just me...

I just assumed that since www.macosx.com and www.macusers.org use the sam icons and same layout roughly in their forums, and that all 3 used almost the same signup procedures, I assumed they might be run by the folks.

I didn't want to post my questions in 3 different places and it be pointless.

That's all. Didn't mean to offend.

Yeah, that similarity is because they all use Vbulliten as their core software/template. You'll find that a majority of forums out there, both Mac and otherwise, will use vbulliten and therefore will have a similar sign-up process.

even forums using IPB software will have somewhat similar sign up process, based on a template of some sort, though images are up to the admins, so that can easily be changed.

Thanks!

Thanks to all for setting this Noob straight!

You'll find though, that our forum is the best of the trio.
