Don't wave away my concerns as though they are not important just because they may not be important to you.

I'm still waiting for anyone to explain why we NEED Daniel? He has a great domain name for our society. That makes him a domain squatter. Not a useful partner.


Your concerns aren't really concerns, they're complaints.  You're complaining about things that have happened, not things that will or could happen due to the merger.  And even if they do, it's irrelevant. 


Ok Daniel doesn't send products he promises.  This doesn't cause the society to fail.  It pisses people off but since everyone knows this we can just set up our own t-shirt sales and tell people "Daniel sucks at it." and that's that.


And as for Domain Squatting:
There is a forum on it.  Squatting means he's not doing anything with it.  This is very clearly false.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

No, he has a site placeholder that happens to be a forum. He doesn't maintain and look after the site. That's why we moved. He is a domain squatter.

Yes he does.  It may not be well maintained but if he didn't look after it, the server would not be paid and the forum would cease to exist.

Why do we need to need Daniel to reunite?  Why can't reunification be a good thing despite Daniel?

No, at that point he'd lose the domain. This is why Tom Bishop reported him way back when. He is a domain squatter. He does the minimum required to keep his placeholder.

You do know that domain names and servers are not the same thing right?  He could own the name but have no server to host anything on.
