As someone who uses OT and /talk....
I find the (un)target audiances are much better. Over on /talk, there are loads of people who are LOLGRUMPY*, it's a form of attention seeking really. Over here, the audiance seems to be a tad more... ermm, sorry, i'm not good with words, 'mature' is almost right, but not quite.

I find one of the big troubles with people asking for help on /talk, is that we get loads of people who come there, ask a question, and don't thank or reply to anything. I find that can really get on my goat, as my experiance with technology has taken years and years to learn. It's not that I'm asking for any kind of fiscal reward, but a 'cheers mate' would do. This is why when someone who's name is not reckognised posts something along those lines, they're greated with a negative responce.

There is also the fact that, by design, /talk can only have a few top-tier posts at a time, so there is the whole 'threadwaste' issue, which also bugs me. But I'ld rather a newbie ask for help on there, than the consistant attention seeking that doesn't equate to conversation.

Also, although /qotw have quite a few Gems, you have to mine through so much crap (which requires time because of the size of the posts), that a lot of /talk can't be bothered.
I'm happy enough sticking to whatever gets newslettered, I should start reading the front-page of the previous week.
