XBA and TA

So I'm wondering about site use and participation. Do most XBA members belong to TrueAchievements as well? Do you use the sites for different things?

Personally I really enjoy the rankings on XBA. I love aiming to gain one more spot on my state leaderboard.
On TA I'm competing with some of my actual xbox live friends (who aren't in the US) and I find great tips for getting specific achievements on just about every game.
What are the main reasons you log-on, and how do you get the most out of sites that interact with your XboxLIVE account?

As far as boosting sessions go, XBA is dead for all intents and purposes. I love this site for the conversation among the forums and threads, and how there's this sense that all the old heads know each other. TA is pretty much just for monitoring my progress with achievements and solutions for the harder ones.

A lot of people on XBA HAD to have a TA account to be in the Completion Percentage leaderboards and such like that for here, when this site is sort of partnered with 360Voice I don't see why that wasn't used.

I think most members here are members of almost all the major Xbox sites out there, since each one offers something different. Active posters here use this site for the community more than other sites, but our leaderboards are full of members who are more active on other sites than here.
Personally, I only boost through xba because using ta is essentially the same thing as partying with randoms. I pretty much know everyone here, so I prefer the events here, even if only 25% of people who sign up end up showing.

Im a member of both, in fact I learned about xbox america through TA on the forum, I def. use both site activeley for different things, like Kat said I like the community aspect of this site, and I like TA for achievement guide (obviously) and I like how they have walkthroughs for a lot of games, I love looking at all of the stats now and then as well, I would of never thought about my completion percentage before joining TA, I think when I first joined TA i had about a 50 percent completion percentage now Im up to 70% and just hit my 80 completed games milestone!!

I'm a member of both as well. As Kat said, I think most XBA members are also members of many other sites.

I belong to both as well I use TA to track things but not so much for the community. I'll comment on a few articles there but it just doesn't seem as inviting as it is here. That and I may be biased since XBA was here first lol.
You mean like when you get dumped on by 30 people for having an opinion about Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon? Which by the way I agreed with you about...lol...
Yeah I use both and then some more. Quite a few more....though I'm not as active anywhere else as I am here.
