CD provides labels and team number associations, which would have been good to add at registration to at least have a profile. Also, CD tracks users in terms of post count and other things, so you can tell if your questions or comments are getting looked at and responded to by "experts".

I do agree with you. While Yopyip does not have some of those things, it does however have a clean look and feel. It also makes communicating with others in FIRST more seamless and makes it simpler to share information. I don't intend to replace Chief Delphi, but I do intend to give FIRST a better place to communicate. Thanks for the input!
