Gotta respect the honesty though.

[Thork]

I think this was partly my fault. Daniel had sent me an email asking about some stuff, and I took a while to respond, which probably slowed things down a bit. My bad etc.

Take your time. We shouldn't rush into this. I think we have tried to go too much too soon. Maybe a little cooling off period for reflection is needed.

[Particle Person]

Maybe Thork needs to take some time to cool off as well. I suggest 100 days.

Why does anyone want to merge the old site when it is obvious that the old site is run by people who take days to weeks to respond to email or forum messages?

Because some people haven't moved over so this is a way to get them over while also having one and only one forum for all Flat Earthy needs.

And Steve and PP would run it so I fail to see a downside.

We get their long backlog of posts and domain name (== Google results == good), they get our organised approach, active moderation/administration and software support. It's a win-win for everyone, and so far we haven't agreed to give away anything of significance. We had to compromise slightly on DNS management, but it seriously shouldn't get in the way.

Of course, this may change as discussions (slowly) progress, but so far we have yet to hit any major issues. Unless something goes horribly wrong, it'll be beneficial to both sides.

FES forum merge: expect it Summer, 2016.

[Pete Svarrior]

To be fair, it doesn't matter when it will happen. This place is running as usual, so it's not like anyone is suffering from the delays.

[Vindictus]

I would like my posts back, so hurry up.

I am suffering immensely, I still have to post on two different sites

You don't have to, you could just post here :^)

Not possible. I want to talk to Cowgirl and she doesn't post here so hurry up you guys.

Convince her to join us. I don't understand her reluctance.

SCG has always been a bit more forgiving of the issues with administration there than most of us.

I did convince her, and she did. Then you all ruined it.

The sooner this all happens, the better. I think.

[Ghost of V]

What are you going on about?

Lurk moar....

But since you are permanoob:

I wish SCG would come over to the dark side. Maybe if we stop talking to her over there she'll jump ship.

I am diligently working on this.

SUCCESS 

[Ghost of V]

So you were successful, but how did we ruin it?

[juner]

She stopped posting. Therefore, you ruined it.

Keep this thread on topic

Okay, a much-awaited update and a request for comments!

So far, Daniel agreed to pretty much all our demands, with the notable exception of which logo to use in the post-reunification forum. Our proposal was to hold a vote after the reunification to determine which logo should be used. Their stance is that we should firmly stick to their logo, claiming that it's an integral part of the society's visual identity, and that it's easy to use in one-colour screen printing.

For the time being, I've done my best to address their concerns and made another case for the vote. That said, if the community would prefer their logo, or doesn't care about being able to choose, then perhaps this isn't something that even needs to be discussed? What do you guys think: should we have a logo vote?
