Well it certainly does have many of the same features as LJ but there is also a push (from the users) to encourage people posting the creations to explain what, how, which, etc.
I’ve also not seen one forum thread here where someone wants to buy either tool A or tool B and the rest of the thread is a list of brand names not related to the two choices.
So far there have been some highly interesting forums, blogs and creation postings all focusing on problems and the solutions to them. This fits the vision from the forum admins and it’s almost entirely driven by the users.
