I started a thread for this in Art. Is that ok, Skibo?
Yep, don't know how much traffic there will be down there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zammm opposed the merger back when there still was a somewhat lively community in Art, now even Venter's thread has fallen out down there. So i think he may reconsider.
… and then, the squirrels came.

How long ago was that? I thought it was only like a month or two ago. Has it really been so long?

I don't remember. At least 6 months.

Aye, I remember it, so it was before I disappeared.

BURSTING WITH VIGOR!
Show
Trolljuju wiped the sweat from his brow as he continued his slow trudge up the snowy mountain. The wind was strong and fiercely cold, but he pressed against it. Juju knew Beast Engine was somewhere at the peak, waiting for him. But this was not a matter of confronting the forces of nature themselves; that had been accomplished long before, and was now too easy to maintain the manly man's interest. Today, Beast Engine was here waiting for a friend.
Trolljuju's mind drifted from his appointment to thoughts of Beast Engine's manliness. The only man in history to punch the fossilized remains of a dinosaur back to life just to punch it to death again. The man who deflected bullets with his pectoral muscles during his daily assassination attempts. The man who cured cancer with a serum made from pure crystalized virility. The man who burst with vigor. Not just a man but a Man- the manliest of all men. A god of masculinity in physical form.
Trolljuju's heart fluttered at the memory of him and lightened his steps as he pressed on.
Suddenly, he was shaken from his reverie by a deep, powerful rumble in the mountain that shook him to his core. Instinctively, he threw himself to the ground just before the slope ahead of him exploded in a fiery wall of light and heat. So great was the force that the entire upper section of the mountain was vaproized. It scorched Juju's coat, then rose on the air to drift far away, a plume of white-hot ash. When Trolljuju lifted his head to see what was left behind, he beheld a wide, perfectly flat stone plateau, and in the distance he could see a muscular figure, his foot still held up from the kick. There was no doubt it was Beast Engine.
As soon as the ground beneath him cooled, Juju cast his heavy pack aside and ran. As the figure grew with closeness, he could see Beast Engine was nude, as was expected. The snow that fell near him turned to a thin wall of steam, looking to Trolljuju's eyes like a barrier. Engine was too strong, too manly to occupy the same space as the ordinary universe. He lived in a world all his own. But fortunately for Juju, it was only an illusion. He ran at full speed into Engine, who caught him with both arms and effortlessly twirled with him, resting with Juju dipped low to the ground in Engine's arms.
"Beast Engine, my love," Trolljuju breathed, sturck with awe at Engine's masculine beauty despite the familiarity of his face. Engine just smiled, radiating from every inch of him with incredible strength, yet gentle warmth. "It's been so long, Juju. I've missed you." "Forgive me. I lost contact with you while you were boxing with Death to win back and consume the soul of Theodore Roosevelt. But now I'm here..." Juju lifted one tentative hand to Engine's face, but he pulled away. "You know I cannot give you what you seek. Were we to make love, your body would be destroyed by the force." "I know, of course I would," Juju responded, tears in his eyes. "May I have, at least, one kiss?" "Very well. For you, my friend." Slowly, gingerly, they came closer. But the moment their lips met, a flood of unbridled manliness rushed into Trolljuju, body and soul, and every cell in his body exploded.
Beast Engine fell to his knees, and in his grief, he wept. The tears that fell from his face burned deep into the rock beneath him. But slowly, his sorrow turned to conviction.
He beat the crap out of Death once. He could do it again.

Well, I've been here for almost four days now. I think that gives my opinion more weight than ALL Y'ALLS!
No, but seriously, I won't voice an opinion on the actual question, but here's my take on change in general. if it's necessary, do it. But if it's not, just let sleeping dogs lie, or whatever other idiom that fits.
Now I can't say that merging the art and Flavor forums is a good or bad idea because I honestly have no idea. But I've been a part of private forums (more specifically, guild forums) before that just fall apart because they kept changing things that didn't need to be messed with. Change isn't always a good thing, despite that being a cornerstone of the Obama campaign.
So there's my two cents.

Well, we haven't actually had things shaken up in a while. It's not like we're changing things all the time.
I mean, things are constantly breaking around here, but that's got nothing to do with us and everything to do with the fact that we've had three years now of Obvious Beta.

From the time I've been lurking here (reg date + a couple of additional months) art seems to lack a community so to say, so after a merge it could be kidna disorienting for Art regulars to put their comments here, especially if called Flavour, Storylines, and Art, as if they're just a minor diety absorbed by The Flavoueoplasm.
That said, if executed well and embraced by regulars of both I'd very much welcome the additional activity, the additional depth, the additional ability to spam, and the additional awesomeness that they'd carry over to us here. I'd personally like to see what happens, but knowing myself I like to see all sorts of improbable situations implode just to see the results and the fallout, so let's call it fifty fifty from this minor one .
