Once the next gen is here posters will be diffrent but abandonia will not fall.

In fact, AR is indirectly responsible for most of the current problems here. It's only fitting that they come over here and try to help us. And it's appreciated too.

Eh, any chance the the reason some people.... are leaving is because they either prefer AR or they want the two to join together?

I think it would not be a bad idea to join AR and AB together and make all people with accounts in only one have them still but also add peoples posts from AR and AB together so they have the correct total that they should. If I loose my postcount I will be annoyed though.If you had every thing in sub fourms realoadsed and abaondonia and then the old fourms in their right site it would be good.

That's been discussed before, and everyone agreed that it would be too big, too confusing, too hard to moderate, too many additional permission masks (Tom's recent cleaning spree still left half a dozen for each site, which would lead to about 20 for a combined forum) and that THEY'RE DIFFERENT SITES.

*wishes AR had a name without "Abandonia" in it*

Also, how is AR (indirectly) responsible for people leaving here? A number of people have drifted over there instead of here, but I'd say that's a result of the atmosphere here (and the site content - I for example am more interested in freeware than abandonware as a rule) not a cause of it.

I won't comment on anything else, but for god's sake, the merging of the two sites must be the worst idea for a while! No way, don't ever do that..

I'm also kind of interested in knowing how and why AR as a whole is indirectly or directly involved in any of this - and why it is only fitting that the AR members try to settle this matter.

Sebatianos and Anubis were never big on AR, and Tiki migrated from AR to AB. Him leaving AB later had nothing to do with AR. In fact, according to his farewell speech, it was because Seb left AB that he left - and Seb left because of a smiley issue. Anubis was put on the sideline for causing problems, then threaten an AB admin. Whereupon an AB admin banned him.

Where was AR in all of this? :blink:

About the new people, it's not true, people leave and come, but I still see Danny and Titan often which joined in '03, and the administrators haven't changed in two years too, so I don't believe there is any change in generations, people just come and go depending on their preference...

And yes merging AR and AB (the forums) would be pretty much useless and result in chaos...
