We won't do that other board. We would just all leave and go to ACF4 full time. Loss of money. Oh well, go ahead and do it.

Worried about losing Admin Status? OMG now THAT is comical. I am sure the three managers who "work for me" would laugh at that as well.


Here is the truth as it concerns ME directly, just to clear up BS:
-I have been telling my boss for 2+ years to "merge the boards" and allow us to have our own Vault Category on the IGN Boards OR give me server space and allow me to dump vBulletin and then run it myself.
-I was told last year that it was "up in the air" but they were considering it, but not for 2011. I am pretty sure I even posted that here publicly.
-A month ago I was told it would happen sometime this year.

Now, if you take a few minutes, you will also realize this is IGN and what is said today may not happen in the future, so this entire thing could be delayed, but in my view, this is inevitable at some point no matter what and it is only a matter of time, probably measured in years and not months. IGN has been merging everything anyways and cutting anything not making money (See what happened to VE3D), and I expect that trend to continue.


So will it suck or not? I don't know. I would hope people would give it a chance and see where it goes before drawing an opinion one way or another.



As for myself, I have no idea if they will move me over as an Assistant Admin or make me a Moderator and I doubt they have even thought that part (the staff here) through yet. My guess is that everything will get ported over and we will be allowed to continue on, with changes to how we "do things".



Anyways, what I just said is nothing "official from IGN". Just realize there are no real plans except for "lets merge them at some point". When we know more, ACF and the posters will know more.

i actually offered to do that at some point back when we were discussing what would happen if we merged or moved to a new forum software and if manually was the only way we could do it. i never did claim to be sane.

Yeah I know.

At the end of the day, even if it does merge it wouldn't likely be enough to drive me away.

I'd just get used to the new system, and probably post on more boards.

I can't riot tonight, I just had my glass of wine and I'm going to go to bed.

Can we try for next weekend? But we have to be done before 6pm, that's when we have our dinner, then we get the kids ready for bedtime.

I've personally thought they need new decision-level management for a number of years now, because whoever's been running the grande show dropped the ball back at WoW and it's been dropped ever since. VN's population decrease wasn't an eventuality, it was a persistent human mistake. The MMO market opened, but VN closed.

A merge really can't hurt the state of things, but whoever's calling the shots certainly can. Merge it and let the pieces fall where they may.
