Anyone also on Intercot?

[FloridaFanatic]

Hi I just discovered this board, I usually lurk on the Disney planning and Universal board.

I also go onto Intercot, but can't seem to get onto it. Is anyone else having problems?

You all have great ideas here, but sometimes the size of these boards can seem a little overwhelming

Thanks!

I used to go on Intercot.
haven't been there in years.

I was a member there but lost my password. I haven't even tried to get another one. I like the DIS better.

heaven't been back there in a loooong time.DIS is sooo much better!!!!

much nicer people here, much better info and topics, and the DIS has so many more members and things move fast - you could go days on Intercot and hardly anything was posted.....

edited to add: the DIS also allows debate on hot topics - on Intercot the debate was only allowed on one side, the other side always got cut off or shut down....as they will tell you they are well within their rights to run the site that way, but it doesn't make it right. The DIS allows both sides to have their say equally and fairly. As a result we have some awesome discussions on important topics and I always learn something of value. Kudos to those who run the DIS!!!!

That's why I stopped going there. If I asked a question either no one would answer or it would be days before I would get a response.

I used to post there years ago, but someone was quite rude to a comment that I made (I know, like that doesn't happen here), but I quit going over there after that.

Intercot seems to be down since yesterday afternoon. I haven't been able to find out anything further.

I totally did NOT want this to turn into a bash intercot thread.

My main questions was: I can't seem to get on to the sight, has anyone else had that problem.

Thanks

sorry - mostly wanted to point out why I love the DIS so much........

I didn't want this to turn into bashing Intercot thread , but I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble getting onto their web site?

Thank you.

Intercot was my first home. I just tried to get on, and you're right, they're not up today. I'm sure John will get it fixed . I loved it there, but now I'm pretty much a lurker. People are extremely friendly there, but I too found not enough action. I still love Intercot, hi to all the folks over there!

I post on DIS, Intercot, Passporter online, WDWMagic, and TGM. Same screen name on all sites. I find a slightly different "feel" to each site, and each has it's own pros and cons.

My favorite overall is the DIS. The site to debate rumors (and has lots of CM members) is WDWMagic. Intercot is okay for the boards, but great for ease of finding info on the "Info Central" page. Passporter online is good for Passporter info, and the vibe there is that the people are SOOO nice!! I very rarely see anyone flaming or bashing one another. TGM is great for getting really specific touring advice from TGM-program vets.

Oh! Forgot to add- I just went on Intercot, and they are up right now (at least, I had no problem getting on the site).

 

[jec13]

Yes. Intercot is back up and functioning normally now.

I was an active member of Intercot for at least a couple of years. It just seemed like there wasn't as much action over there. I still like it and pop in ocassionally -mostly lurking. I appreciate Figment's semi-regular updates on their News and Rumor section. I like Intercot, but the DIS is my "home". It's kind of like a Coke vs. Pepsi thing I guess.

Glad to hear that it's back up and running

Yeah, Intercot was my first disney board, and I still am fairly active both here and there. I think they're different enough that they both have pros and cons... I tend to post different questions different places. Sometimes things get lost in the shuffle here since they move quickly, but if I need a fast answer I'm more likely to get it at the Dis. If I want something to stay on the top page long enough to get more diverse responses, I'll post there. The CB is way better than the Water Cooler though! Some debate can be a good thing!
