That's what I got from the style of IPB's staff's messages in that thread linked earlier. More shielded egos, sensitive to criticism and with that comes a greater desire to talk down competitors and avoid using honesty. Attention to public image is in much detail.

And that's why I thought the thread that was posted on both XF and IPB got better attention on IPB. The staff of a community will attract like-minded people. The thread in question sounded like a canned question but served as an opportunity for forum owners to compete in sharing ideas.
