Why MacRumors instead of Apple.com forums?

As for me, apple.com forums are too strict. Threads get moved right away if the question sounds slightly less related to the forum subject--i.e. you can't even talk about how good or bad AT&T is without iPhone being mentioned explicitly more than AT&T. That's just stupid.
 
Plain and simple:

Apple deletes threads that would not be deleted if they are on here.

(17 inch PB screen lines comes to mind)
 
When I started taking a serious interest in getting a Mac, in 2003, 85% of my searches were leading me here. I took it as a sign. :eek: The sign looked something like this:

I stayed for the community. :p
 
What got me into this site was the post your mac setup threads.

(well I actually read the front page for 2 years without knowing that they were here)

This forum has some things that I have not seen on any other forum (the Thread Starter thing, http://spy.macrumors.com)
 
Before I bought a Mac I did a lot of research and was always brought here. So I took the hint and registered.

Think I was signed up to that ThinkSecret one too (that one that had the aluminium hole background image).
 
I agree with the previous posters, I have gotten a lot more helpful and honest answers to questions here than I ever did on Apple’s forum. Coupled with the fact that Apple essentially regulates what it said it can make getting a legitimate answer difficult.
