I reject the idea of a sceptimatic account deletion. Although not an admin, I believe it prudent to suspend such an action for him or any member requesting the same until a reasonable time period has passed where diplomacy may prevail rendering a decision based on those communications.

I shall be continuing that sentiment wherever talks may take place in the administrative wing of the site.

I agree, gotham. I hope sceptimatic will reconsider his decision to leave.

This site is devolving into something more a kin to the KKK and Skinheads. The Administrator and Mods seem to be proud of this, as they have done nothing to curb it, not even issuing a disclaimer on the content.

We do our best to remove any content deemed racist or highly offensive to some people. We definitely do not condone racism here.

How could we "screw you over"? What does that even mean in this context?

My point is that we're uninsured against any scenario detrimental to us or our (or Daniel's) interests. For instance, there's no guarantee that your administration won't forcibly do to the unified FES something we reject completely, and since we no longer have the keys we won't be able to do anything about it.

Actually, you would have everything to gain and nothing to lose. You would get our superior services, our superior technical expertise and active administration, our superior design and branding, and you would no longer have to worry about falling behind in SEO and social media reach. All this without putting in any effort on your part.

But, wait, if you act now, your site will be absorbed and consumed.

That does not sound like a merger.

All we want out of this is a unified userbase,

And in exchange you are offering this site assisted suicide.

If this is the extent of the deal, they are offering nothing.

I agree. I think we should put this matter to rest and move on. If any of our users wants "superior" services, he or she can always go to the other site for them. Plus in the event that, for whatever reason, one of the sites is no longer accessible, rendered unusable or simply gone, at least those still interested in FES stuff will have something to fall back on.

So basically we just have to leave everything to you and pray that you won't screw us over. This reunification deal is horribly lopsided, I must say. I think we'll be fine on our own.

They've already said they want to keep the various services on their site unchanged, so it's clear the only thing they want from us is control over our forum. We might end up gaining almost nothing from reunification, John. I still don't see any problems with both sites going their separate ways; they're doing fine on their own.

Exactly, SCG. It's perhaps unfair to say Daniel has done next to nothing to this site when he's the one paying the bills. Now, we're doing just fine without them, and they're doing just fine without us. Reunification is pointless.
