the lack of intimacy, if you look at the vestibule, or even the sports boards, there is little to no familiarity with respect to friendly banter (psst FYC is a fat nerd)

If they just move the entire board intact that wouldnt be an issue.

I honestly see no downside as long as post count and reg date go over as well. Bonus would be if they combined my post count from over there even though is meager on that side.

They can have my postcount. I kinda like my reg date though, even if it's embarrassing too.

I dislike change, specially if a company can't do it without inconveniencing their users. If I showed up one morning and everything was migrated seamlessly (post count, icon, title, login, post history, threads, forums, etc) I wouldn't care but I am placing bets that isn't what will happen.

It'll probably go over about as well as the IGN Merge did.

Some will go seamlessly, others will wind up getting screwed.
