another source like you said Monster
The founders of that site have done a great job hats of to them. If your on you should take a minute and go and look you may be surprised of the site they built and how easy it is to navigate and yes another resource for all of us to look at.
The Forum on Sugarbush info is VERY NICE! Easy to navigate around the site, I LOVE IT! Way to go guys!!!!!!!!!
Very cool site for sure!
I don't get it. Why do we need two? Same people, same topics, same classifieds.
Same classifieds ? Do you mean there are two maple classifieds on the internet in such a mess as this one ?
I have to say I agree with you. Took a peek over there, but why bother.Quote:

So now I have to check two different sites for the same thing (sigh....). It's bad enough I burn enough hours reading through this forum every day. But having to scan daily two (essentially) identical sites will be a hassle.
So, I'm kind of wondering: why it was done?
Is there an editorial difference?
Is sugaring in the Great Lake states so much different than sugaring in New England?
Is there a feud in the sugaring community?
Is there some reason why I should be dissatisfied with MapleTrader that I do not know about?
Let me know...
The other site has a live chatroom which some like very much.
The "why" is a big question. Perhaps a better route would have been to offer to buy or take over this site. I'm not sure where I'll end up. I want to be where ever the most locals are during sugaring season. I like keeping in contact with others to share our seasons progress.
its all about choices. a nice thing to have. try it and if you dont like it stay here
I tried it and I like it. For me it's easy to navigate through the site, nice classifieds, the look is different, but I ALSO love this site for the years of knowledge and advice available. I will continue to check out BOTH sites. No worries people, just a different option.:)
I am going to participate in both sites. Another maple site amongst all of the garbage sites we have on the web is not a bad thing.
It's the same site as Maple Trader but with red screen instead of green screen.I'm a member of both but I really don't see a need for both. I'm sticking with Trader for the most part.
Spud
I was wondering the same thing. I haven't been on as much - but back in October I came on this site to a changed format and the most people on the Site that I can remember and I wondered back then - What the heck is going on? Within a few days the number of Traders on Site had dropped to normal numbers for October. Then - I started to notice that some of the old regulars that contribute all the time seem to have vanished - again - what the heck is going on? Yesterday - I was reading postings and discovered that there is another Sugarin Site - very much like this one and Shazam - The missing Traders were found. My Friend - Everyone - on both Sites - are being such Ladies and Gentleman - I don't think we will ever find out what happened. Soooooo! I guess I'll just relax and use both. - Hey! Have a Very Happy New Year and Make lots of Maple in 2012. -----Mike-----Quote:

Dont take me wrong but like everything there is a reason. but those guys did a great job setting up that site and its easy to use.
Their goal is not to compete with the trader but just add more for us. I will continue to use both as do the founders of sugarbush.info I believe all of whom use this site as well. I have had lots of hits on my website since the site started. They are a group maple producers that just wanna give back to the maple community just like the maple guys do. I think its great to have another site to waste time on....uh yeah I waste alot of time on the computer!!! :D
I check both sites, and I see SBI is having a photo contest how cool is that :)
I just joined the other site, and added photos to the picture contest in the photo gallery.
Check 'em out!:)
They have some really nice prizes for the winners too.
Wow... now a syrup contest too. Maple Guys, let's pony up on some prizes and get something going here.
I didn't see the syrup contest, just the photo contest the prizes are pretty cool for that cant imagine what they have for the syrup contest.Quote:
