But to a new member, it's not apparent which forums/subforums are useful or active, and which ones are not. At first, the layout can be quite confusing.

Out of all the forums I visit, this is the most straightforward of them all.

Your opinion is probably influenced by the fact that you've been a member here for years, as opposed to not being active on any of the other forums.

Perhaps, but if you need extra help figuring things out there is a not difficult to locate forum guide that very clearly explains everything.

Hmm. That's true. You made that guide after I joined, so perhaps it would have made a difference in how quickly I became accustomed to things.

I don't know about merging, but the dancing smiley of the ToO has entered the SS. The CC's chat is actually the ToO chat. Maybe we do the same thing for the SS?...:think:
1. SS and ToO
2. SS and CC
3. CC and ToO
4. No Merging
5. Merge all 3 Boards

Or we could just not waste time talking about something that's not possible?

I say close the other non-ToO boards and people can come here, or not, whatever.

What would be the fun in that, Dan? =p

I have a better idea: to make the transition gradual, we transfer one randomly selected ToO post to the new board every minute.

Best. Idea. Ever.

/sarc

Now watch that post be randomly selected to be moved to the new site.

I bet that Marvin posted, but his was transferred too.

Maybe we should have a poll whether merging is good idea or not, etc.

The thing is that no one here is taking the idea of merging seriously. I don't think anyone on any board ever did.

When WCW and ECW merged into WWE, it ended up horrible for everyone.

Now I'm curious; what do those acronyms stand for?

World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling were competitors of the World Wrestling Federation, now named World Wrestling Entertainment, until they all merged into one organization.

Ah, okay. I thought it had something to do with AiO.

I think that anybody who wants to be part of both boards is already part of both boards, and people who want to only be part of one board are only part of one board. I personally don't see a poll as really useful in this situation, particularly since the real decision can only be made by the two people who pay for the ToO and the SS, and neither of them have posted in this thread. If they really wanted to, it would happen, regardless of a poll. If they don't, then I don't think a poll would change anything. There are people who really enjoy just one board and people who really enjoy multiple boards. That's fine. People can do whatever they want.

Where's that like button?

The ToO and The SS MERGING? Hmm... I guess that sounds like a plan, but which website is staying?

It isn't a plan. This isn't actually happening; people are just giving their opinions on it.
