I ask because I notice that the forums on both sites are very similar, from layout and look to the threads themselves (sometimes the threads have identical titles to the threads here) and they also seem to share an aversion to new threads and will keep a thread going for years with an outdated title rather than start a new one.

Just wondering if both dvdtalk and bluray.com are run by the same people?

No, there isn't any association.

You will notice this forums organization, lack of fanboys, professionalism by it's moderators/administrators and come to the quick realization that this website is completely different then that of "Blu ray.com".

I knew there was a reason I spend much more time here.

Agreed.
