Forums merged!

[I, Brian]

I'm pleased to say the forums merger has finally succeeded!!

As you'll probably have noticed, though, the result is somewhat confused and messy in places.

For a start, there are a number of forums that repeat themselves - we have two Babylon 5 forums, for example, and repetition in the different types of literature boards.

However, I plan to spend the next few days tidying these up on a more peicemeal basis.

In the meantime, feel free to browse the forums, and please do warn me of any technical issues you encounter - I'm sure there will be more than a few.

Oh - and it was the Ascifi.com forums that were merged. The result is - so far as I can tell - the largest general science fiction & fantasy forum on the net, with over 12,000 members and over 700,000 posts.

WOW! It's so much bigger now.

*wonders around in awe*

[Teresa Edgerton]

Oh ... my ... goodness.

(But, um, Brian -- if spoken out loud, that last word would sound a lot like an expletive. Feeling a little tired and cranky after all those mighty labors, are you?)

Seriously, that must have been a lot of work. Thank you for all you've done over the years to give us a bigger and more entertaining playground to play in.

Congratulations, now I need to find my bearings, *gaps in awe*

Good job, Brian. I am duly impressed. A little intimidated at the moment, but impressed nonetheless.

12000 members? Thatll mean another Lounge expansion! Call the contractors back....

Wow!

Big huge forum...!

Great work Brian, im sure it is going to be a even more brillient site than before!

[Teresa Edgerton]

The list of birthdays at the bottom of the index page came back. That's nice. It's been missing for months, at least on my browser.

*blinks* Should've checked in at the old board a little earlier - it redirected here and that was mildly confusing. Not bad - just confusing.

Looks twice as professional and thrice as big

[Adasunshine]

B..B...Buffy forum? a-a-and a Charmed forum too?

I'm in heaven...

Thanks Brian, not sure my kids and partner will feel the same way but thank you!

Holy #$#$$$#$#$$! Amazing! good job Brian.

[I, Brian]

Nice to see you here, Highlander, and sorry for any confusion.

Also looks like there may be a slight issue with the avatars - I'll look to get that sorted out over the following day. Still a lot of work to do here.

And feel free to post something in the Introductions forum, where you can be more personably greeted here.

Wow! I'm going to need a holiday just to look around! Great job, Brian.

[Paige Turner]

Thanks, Brian. Not just for this, but for making such a nice home for all of us. Your strict entrance requirements are really paying off.

One question about the merger, though. In this scenario, are we the Borg, or are they?
