You’ve been magically transported from that time when you really started to get into beer and were looking at the internet for others like you, to the present day. You look around at what your options are,Where do you go?
I originally joined BA, but eventually moved over to RateBeer because of the better, more relevant database (for non American raters).
So, while I do see the appeal of the even bigger UT database, I still think the lack of forums, ratings and other educational aspects would have made RB my main site for beer.
I like untappd, but the stats at Ratebeer are more fun. I use both for different purposes, but I still think I would gravitate to Ratebeer. That’s probably why I’m still here.
Started on BA, but fell out. Plus as stated by tmrmwel, non-US users on BA were poorly treated thread and database wise. Add to that they wanted me to stop using my fish signature.
