Where to post screenshots?

[zwr100 2]

Now that the CXL website has a City Showcase forum, I'm not sure where to post screenshots (journal or showcase) of my latest CXL 2011 projects.  I'm guessing I'm not the only one frequenting both sites.  What do you think is the better place to share?

If you feel like explaining why, please feel free.  Also, I'm not sure I see any differences - so please feel free to point out the obvious.

You could do both --- don't forget there's also a separate 'City Journals' section of Simtropolis where some people post their CXL journals (mixed in with SC4 journals).... In terms of differences between the sites, I noticed CXL site allows for larger images --- true?

Thanks for the answers so far; particularly Jazyje and Damastius!

The poll results are mostly "both" which I suppose I could have just done anyway. I'll have to think about making updates that are easy to copy and paste I was afraid it might be uneccessarily redundant.  I'm not quite ready yet anyway, so I'm glad I asked for input regardless.

The maximum allowable size isn't that important to me since I upload everything to photobucket which I have set to automatically size them to 800 X 600, but thanks for pointing out a difference!

I'm not convinced about the traffic being greater ... maybe not MORE, but definately BETTER here!!!  And I do mean this particular forum, since I'm not a big fan of the other CJ section (for no particular reason).  I guess i'll find out

Traffic can be a little discouraging here, but there is a core group of participants. I try to offer some decent comments when I can, but I do have a full-time job and family as well, so my free time is somewhat limited.

fyi

I started a CJ here and a City Showcase in the CXL forum.  Both started on 11/9, and the updates are exactly the same 5 posts (intro, farms, residential, high-tech/office/park/tourism, industry, blueprints).  I answered any question in both, and replied to most/all comments.  In each thread I answered questions with additional screenshots or images.   As part of one answer I added a screenshot of the trade menu to the original post, whichI added in both threads.

I value both threads and the questions/comments equally, though I have greater faith in the Simtropolis community and website.

Okay - great. I see they are actually equal, as I consider comments to be more important than views only.
