A brief look at what's possible suggests that we should be able to merge existing accounts as well as attribute posts from deleted accounts to users (e.g. Thork's old posts). But, of course, we won't do anything people wouldn't want, so an individual basis sounds safest.

There are cigarettes in joints. You don't smoke it by itself.
No one seems to have commented on Daniel's running of all the merch. A task he has failed at repeatedly and as mentioned is a source of major embarrassment. Can't we make 3rd partying it a part of the negotiation? He obviously finds it a chore anyway, which is why he does it so infrequently. I hate it that someone who puts so little in, is leader forever. I don't think I'm going to win that argument. I just think its wrong that someone who hasn't bothered with the society since its first year still runs it 9 years later. How do you ever get rid of such a person? The only answer we found was to go elsewhere.
when you try to mock anyone while also running the flat earth society. Lol
Can I not have an alt of the same username?
If we are not speculating then we must assume
If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.
What about the spambot/DoS accounts? Will they get merged too?

It just seems like a weird, political, Thork (did he even come up with it? it seems like something he would) brainchild with no real purpose.

That's how far the horizon is, not how far you can see.
I also share Thork's concern about the merchandise, but with no one here haven taken up the merch role I suppose it's moot. Let the merger begin.
What of the concerns? Merchandising, web control, membership, etc?
Are you just looking to get a general yes and push through without addressing these, or will you go back with the community concerns and try to renegotiate?
The two societies' forums will be merged by way of tfes.org inheriting theflatearthsociety.org's database. The resultant forum will remain under the current administration, moderation and rules of tfes.org.
