For anything related to undergraduate, this forum is a superior source of information - hands down. For anything related to graduate, the other forum is a better source since most of the members there have master/doctorate degrees.
THAT SAID....
The other forum is a bit like a pub. Sometimes it's all about who is there that night and how much they've had to drink and what they're talking about when you walk in.
Let me also add, that the other forum has been around a LOT longer than this one, and the membership there makes me look like a newbie (I've also been there 10 years). There is a long history of rivalries there, but there is also a deep spring of knowledge about things that other people don't appreciate- how so and so started a diploma mill in 1978 and then opened ABC mill and then and then and then and now they're opening XYZ college..... the members there know all about it. Also, worth mentioning, is that Dr. John Bear is a contributing member there- he is really the first and foremost authority on distance learning (aka correspondence schools from way back) and has a lot of current knowledge as well.
The other forum also has an older membership (age-wise) and a dark sense of nerdy humor.
Not everyone appreciates that lol. As an example of a (unofficial, of course) game they regularly play, is to find people on LinkedIn with fraudulent degrees or credentials in positions of leadership and out them as liars or frauds.
