I actually used to visit GB quite a bit around May 2007, even had a specially generated password for it and all (which I don't do for lesser sites). The main reason I stopped is after some GB admins decided to attack everything related to TDC, and then end it with a "please go to GameBuilder".
"TDC admins steal news from TIGSource"
"TDC admins are too oppressive"
"TDC bans people for no reason"
"TDC has too many worthless admins"
"TDC is not active enough"
"TDC doesn't ban Phizzy"
"TDC banned Phizzy for no reason"
"TDC doesn't punish jerks who pick on me, so I'm leaving"
"TDC bans people they don't like, but not others who have done less things"
"TDC competitions don't come with a prize. The one at GameBuilder does."
"TDC admins are lazy and don't post anything on the front page anymore"
"TDC admins post too many irrelevant news on the front page"
"The rating system doesn't work because someone voted 0 stars on my game"
"The admins recommend their favorite games but don't recommend my favorites"
The admins do get a little annoyed at all that whining and just tells everyone to shut up and leave at times. You'd have to understand why they don't even bother listening to complaints anymore.. there's always someone who complaints of something on the opposite side of the spectrum.
But if you really feel that something is being treated unfairly, bring it up. Just do it politely. If you're lazy and don't want to email an admin, use the Alert Admin button. Threads have been unlocked, members have been unbanned, and new rules have been made from the feedback. We will not listen to your opinions equally, but we will consider them.
It is a site. As they say, being here is a privilege, not a right. But your presence makes it a better place, so we're not going to shoo you away unless you're bothering everyone else. You're more than welcome to leave if you don't like it. And assuming everyone still likes you, you're more than welcome to return when you feel like it.

Ahh well, I never visited Gamebuilder then, and didn't visit TDC much in those days. We are working hard on becoming a more professional community site now. And watermarking our news.
That would be nice to see. TDC does need a competitor and I think GB is underusing its potential anyway, since it already has a better codebase than TDC. Just needs to start being active and moving actively, that's all.

Those things Muz mentioned are what I had in mind but did not list. I have faith that the two sites will get along and benefit from each other. I'm just getting tired of all the "TDC sucks, why don't you come to our lovely site" invites. Invites need to be made in good spirit. I have trouble going over there now because of the attitude some of its members have assumed.

Actually I was just invited by ricky to join the chat and that is totally cool, however right before I did (i had to get my ct forum password for it to work) I saw a pm by Adam on the clickteam forums.
Short to say, after being called some chilish names and now that I have to remove the klik-cast logo he made from the tdc in its entire, i dont think I should enter the chat since the adams-fan club's mind is made up how tdc is just the dark side anyway. Only seeing one side of the coin is just that only seeing that one side.
Hayo van Luke, I am your father! ... Give in to the Dark Side! qqqqqcchhhhhccchhhhhhhttthckkccktthh qqqqqcchhhhhccchhhhhhhttthckkccktthh (how to type a Vader breathing noise?)
This is an epic battle, one for the ages ... lol.
Hmmmm .. I should make a StarWars game starring Rikus and Hayo! .. omg, awesomesauce!

You know, reviving old topics is one thing. Reviving old topics that barely managed to scrape by into oblivion without exploding into an argument is another. Please don't.
