Each board takes on the personality of its manager and his/her moderators.

Both PP and IF have a different flavor to them.
For what it's worth, to me PP has more fishing related stuff and less peripheral content.

Pick what you like, or both, and go for it.

We should all count our blessings that people like Bob and Jennie are willing to do so much work to provide these wonderful forums for us all.
