toolman1990 I'd say that there are a fair number of HLF Members who maintain(ed) active accounts at DSLR.
Different Sites have different Use Cases.
DSLR, for me, was always a more tech-oriented site...
just like I use book of face and twit-x for differing forms of content and networking.
IIRC, the decision to close The Watercooler at DSLR was what drove the Founders of HLF, to create the Site in the first place, not driven by members that "were legitimately banned" from DSLR...
