SU site
Well, there are a MILLION advantages to be a demo, but their gallery and message board leaves something to be desired, (although you don't know that until you find a site like SCS to compare it to!) The number of ideas posted there versus here and the ease of searching the gallery and finding topics in the forums and getting answers here far exceeds SU's showcase and message board, so I rarely use the SU site for their gallery or message board anymore. SCS really is all a stamper needs!
SU's card showcase only shows 3-4 samples per day. Here, unlimited, and being added all day long! Plus SU picks what samples are posted, here everyone can contribute, so it's not just one person's opinion what's worthy of being posted, there's something for eveyone. (I have sent many samples to their showcase and have never been featured, but I have been able to share a lot of my ideas with others here!) It is also limited in it's searching power, you can search by stamp set, and sometimes accessory but not always, but here you can search by just a color for example and it pulls up every card that uses it! Amazing!!!
The messages can take quite a long time to post, too on SU, whereas here it is almost in real time, and people answer your questions here usually in a matter of minutes or seconds! SU is also hard to search by topic, but this is very easy. SU also doens't have private messaging.
It really is incredible how much SCS has to offer, and is available for everyone to use! I definitely think any one who loves stampin' would LOVE being a demo, but you still need your beloved SCS to stay "plugged in"!
