Welcome! A lot of us, including myself, have been banned from that other site.
It’s a shame the folks on the other site can take a fun and relaxing hobby like beer and turn into some sort of arbitrary totalitarian thing. Doubly a shame because they have so much exposure in terms of search engine placement and site visits, and actually a pretty cool site design. If they just ran the place more liberally instead of having all the arbitrary deletions and bannings, it might not be a bad place. I remember having fun there when I first started and they turned into a place that I really loath now.
I wish people would realize what’s going on and abandon ship before they personally ran into trouble, but I guess I can’t blame anyone for not doing it. After all, I only jumped ship after I ran into trouble there. ;)
Hopefully this site can bring back some of the fun for you and give you a fresh start.
So, if this is a place for outcasts, is it more like Australia, Gilligan’s Island (I guess they were more castaways than outcasts) or the Island of Misfit Toys? 
The funny thing about Australia is the British sent their unwanted people to what is clearly a better country So I do see parallels to BA and Ratebeer 
But honestly I found both sites and decided to join this one because the layout, ratings and stats seemed a lot better. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the "other" site so I guess I’m just one of those people who make excellent choices in life
Cheers ratebeer for being so awesome  |
Between the ratings and bad rep of the "other site" is what led me to ratebeer right off the bat. This place is a keeper. |

Haven’t checked in for a while.I like BA because they have a more lively PNW forum than here |

They did you a favor. Welcome to the best beer site on the interwebs. Sit back, relax, and have a beer. Pony up for preemie and enjoy the craziness of the OT forums.
Yes, 1+ to this |

Whilst I dare say the weather is certainly better in Australia, I think the beer scene is mainly lager isn’t it? I’ll stick to Blighty thanks. |
Welcome to the party. This place has some very smart people who have a sense of humor. In addition, I have discovered that RB contains much more information on beers internationally. Can’t say I’m surprised you got banned for nothing over there’ seems to be an influx of women and children who can’t stand sarcasm at all; or another person’s opinion for that matter. I’m in the banned wagon myself. |

Respect Beer!
Seriously, though, RateBeer people are good people. Enjoy your time here and meet as many people as you can! |

You probably should join just to see how quickly you get banned.
