As a non-member you saw about 10% of the site. Forum software tends to look alike as there are only so many ways to have a forum appear. I am a member of about a dozen forums and 6 or 7 of them run the Vbulletin software used here, hence they look identical. The others look very similar to this with some minor differences.
As for information, well the VMOA is more than just a forum. If all you want is a forum then VMF is great, but there is more to the VMOA than that. I am very good friends with Buster, the owner of this site, and we do work together in the background to the benefit of both sites, but we ensure that each group maintains their autonomy as well. Cooperation is always good for everyone, hence that is why the VMOA has a section here too and the VMOA does reference threads here to direct our members as well. It works and we saw no need to change it. By mutually supporting eachother we have all benefited.
Just to clarify even more of what Thevmaxrider stated, VMF is vbulletin forum software whereas VMOA is XOOPs website software with a loaded forum module. That is just a small part of the entire site that is unseen and what the VMOA has to offer. We have plenty more forum categories that are not shared out to the anonymous visitor.
