But I hate the fact that it's a stipulation that you have to add cards to your "org" to trade or sell. That sucks, I'm on 3 other forums and they don't expect you to follow a big list of rules and regulations to trade or sell. That's why I believe those forums have so much more traffic, and one of the reasons John migrated as well.You enter your cards in org to trade- its that simple. If not then you cant trade, hence the mod action. It takes minutes to add cards for trade, especially if you already paid for it, why not use it.
Not taking anything away from Beckett, it's a nice forum. I pay for the OPG, and I like to list my recent pickups here. But that's about all I do here. From time to time, there are some nice discussions going on and I like to read and chime in. But other than that, people steer clear of selling and some trading here because of some of the rules. I can't tell you how many times I've posted scans to trade or sell and one of the MODs deleted it, or locked it out.
All this is just my opinion.

Beckett did this to protect it's members, because adults are not allowed to trade with anyone under 18, it's the law, and it saves a lot of hassle.
The other sites are mostly kids, even the MODS are like 12, 13 yrs old, and it isn't going to be a big shock to me, when those sites are ordered to close down, and the amount of scammers they have on those sites is appalling, I have even had one owner from one of the well known other sites tell me, that isn't worth the time for them to ban bad traders/scammers, because they will just come back under a new ID, all he cares about is the number of members, the ad revenues, and the freebies he gets from the different companies like, topps, press pass, UD, etc...

I do believe that when the site gets to running 100% the other site will be hurting as all the old members will come back because it sucks to search for people who have cards you need. It took me days to go through an look at each card I want and see who has them and to put it on a excel sheet. For all I know alot could have been traded already new new cards I need have been listed again. I do think I will be more motivate to add cards in my org when I know people will be alerted when they see one pop up and let them know I just listed it.

One of the deals I did on another site, not naming any names, I bought some cards, then got emailed and asked what cards I bought from him. Luckily I remembered 7 out of the 8 of them. Then I wait a few weeks for these to get here and their is one short. something wasn't adding up. So I asked him to please send me the card I was shorted since it was the main reason I bought the lot and my reply was "gonna send it as soon as my dad gets his check and gives me money to ship it with" REALLY! Selling cards on a site thru Paypal and your dad has to give you money to ship one card. Finally after around 6-8 emails I get my card. Turns out after all this I read a post where he says he was 15 years old. That just totally turned me off from that site and although I was getting some really good deals and finding stuff I can't sometimes find on here I feel a lot safer on here and if I buy it will be from here or the Bay.
