Merging two slow forums would make a faster one - at least in theory. It won't change or slow their rate of decay though, which seems to be what you're suggesting.

The whole identity thing is one to think about as well. Will the change drive members away who were previously comfortable with either ours or the other forum?..

Finally.. what about the technical aspects?

This would be a lot easier if we were approached by an actual forum wanting to merge actually..

I'm sounding a bit negative, but I can see where Ani's coming from. If worst comes down to worst and we're at the stage of shutting down, merging would at the very least save everybody having to re-establish themselves. Half of us will know each other at least.

@Ani: yeah..missing out on the anime/manga section easily accounts for half (if not more) of the activity by my estimates.
