Forum reunification
« on: September 13, 2021, 04:28:14 AM »
The other forum administrator has given terms for reunification. I think it only fair to put it to the powers that be on this forum

I would like to know where we are at with this. Are we looking to reunify with the other forum? Is now the moment we can attempt to resolve the deadlock? Or is the reunification of North&South Korea more likely?
What would be the point? It's been years since the other forum had anything of value to offer. We barely even notice their existence anymore. If their users are so interested in posting here, they can simply choose to post here.

In principle, we'd be open to a reunification under the terms of simply absorbing their users, database and domain name into our website, but they would never agree to that.

While he has some pessimism as to the possibility I'm thinking how cool would it look if we surprised them and surrendered accepted their terms :)

While this is a great mechanism to get rid of Heiwa's stupid posting, I don't see everyone being on board with this.

I really don't understand why you even bring this up. We are two separate forums. They can post here, we can post there. There's no "reunification" because this forum was never split, just some people left and made their own forum. They are happy with their forum, lots of you post on both sites, why do you need one less place to entertain yourself?
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Because many of us never go there and many of them never go here. This place has a dwindling active forum base. I'm not talking about the trolls and alts. I'm talking about the genuine individuals. They are posting less and less and the heart of what this forum is about ie flat earth, is rarely even discussed anymore

A merger would inject new blood and personalities in which to befriend or clash. You can talk about posting on both sites and we do, but one site is always favourited and it's still a slow death for both.

It's pretty clear that this is the forums eventual fate. I'm just putting a view out there to do with as you please. I believe a merger would strengthen the society and will still be kicking long after the universe reaches maximum entropy. On current course, I give this place 3 - 5 years tops and thats as long as whoever pays the bills, keeps paying them for whatever reason they do

Forums are dying because they've been replaced with other types of social media.  The others don't want to merge their forum with ours, all they're interested in is the database, and after all these years that's probably not even of much interest. If we gave them our database they'd ban all the fun and/or weird accounts and everyone who enjoys our more lax approach would drift off.

The internet is turning into an over-moderated hellhole. I'm not interested in posting on a forum that bans people so easily. If you want their style of moderation, go over there. If we ever merged, I'd leave, just like I did when I thought the merge was happening years ago.

Hmmm. Admittedly I did not consider this. You are indeed correct. To hell with the reunification idea then!

They're always welcome to post here.  I post there occasionally.  They're a very serious bunch.  I suspect they have conquered flatulence by being so uptight.  An impressive feat indeed.

Agreed. For what it's worth, my outrageous "terms" were intended to discourage further discussion, not spawn another one over here.

I've been very clear about this last time around. The terms they are offering us are, as Parsifal points out, are meant to discourage any such a merger from ever happening. Last time I went above and beyond to try to present terms, and sacrifice our own interests in said terms at times, to broker a deal. It is and was clear that was not going to happen. More than this, my want to do so was mainly for the benefit of the society which they have damaged more than any other group in the last 100 years. It is my sincere belief they don't care for what the society represents and have stolen our IP by pretending to be the Flat Earth Society and in doing so have irreparably damaged it for both of us and any future folks that want to pick up the banner once we are inevitably gone.

Once these talks failed last time I made it very clear I would not deal with them again. I hold no hard feelings to the people themselves over there, except probably Thork. Because, Thork. However, I would sooner eat shit than be party to this nonsense, especially now that they have even less to offer us.

I couldn't agree more. I wasn't even here for the split, and this sentiment bridges not only website but membership generations.


Edit to add: also, I'm going to lock this thread. A suggestion has been raised, and it has been addressed as far as I think it reasonably can be addressed.

Edit to add: shut up boydster, we're about to fist fight.

I predict Shitler will bring up reunification again in about 6 months. We will all wonder why, there will be minor drama. I will punch Junker (again). We will once again explain to Shifter that the forums aren't going to merge. Parsifal will count one number.

Because the thread in your CN board was started by EJ who had no access to the upper forums. Are you really this clueless about your own forum? ::)
