As opposed to this board where you get fart jokes.
I am not always a fan of the tedium that is ILM... but to say they "think" they know about music.. is perhaps singlehandedly the most idiotic thing Ive read today...
then again, perhaps people that write for Allmusic, Village Voice, and the other rags dont really know about music, not as much as Dalen.. but then again who can...
You're right of course...and I'm sure if I cared to post topics there I'd find at least a handful of people with interesting things to say on most topics. That said, as an occasional lurker and even rarer poster there, I find most of the content to be not of much interest to me. I suppose I could say the same about a lot of the content here too, but I never got hooked there like I did here.
As far as the format goes, I have no problem with their format. Its simple, searches actually do filter out most unrelated content, pages generate fast, and its very rarely down. You can't say that about most boards.
I hate the "classic or dud" posting convention though.
