I'm struggling to understand some of the sentiments voiced here. We are taking over the forum. They don't get to change it in any way. Any comments about Daniel and Wilmore are simply irrelevant, because they won't be doing anything to the forum. It's gonna be on our server, with our administration, and running our software. The only change to the forum is that we'll inherit their userbase and post history.
It doesn't matter what Daniel and Wilmore will "see" this as, because they are not relevant parties as far as running the forum is concerned. I don't understand why people suddenly started taking Thork's tantrums seriously, especially now after we've secured more power than we originally planned.
Also, not voting on a proposal you're opposed to is the least productive thing possible. We can't hope to accurately represent what people want if they actively hold themselves back from telling us what they want.
I also don't understand why people are acting like it would be us taking Daniel's site and changing it somehow. That's not at all what we're doing. What we're doing is taking our site, leaving it exactly as it is, importing a shitton of old posts and accounts and redirecting the other forum's members here. Will things be significantly different than they are on Daniel's site? Yes. They will be exactly as different as they already are.
Please, instead of throwing unfounded negativity into the ether (or, worse still, founding your negativity on Thork's unfounded tantrums), voice your concerns and ask questions. I'm confident that no one here has any reasons to worry (unless you really hate some of the active posters from the old forum, since, welp, we'll probably be getting them), but I'm happy to discuss things at length to make sure that everyone is informed and satisfied. Just, please, don't succumb to random panic.
