Noted. Thanks.Volly, was the purpose of this thread just to insult zoners? If you're asking whether or not we want to merge with the Pub, why would we? We like what we have here. I'm not sure what kind of response you were expecting? If someone walks into your house and suggests you move in with your neighbor, what's your response going to be? Guess I'm just confused by what you're getting at?

We're not the wild troublemakers we once were, but we still take a sense of pride in having our own little niche on VN. Visit any forum on VN and you'll find there are people possessive of it. People in the RF complain all the time about "being invaded" by posters from the FF. I've seen it in the basketball and Lady Vols forums as well. As someone who jumps forums, I'm surprised by how many seem to limit themselves to posting in a particular forum, but I can tell you it happens. It's not unique to the Zone or the Pub. Post something in the RF suggesting you're gonna merge it with the FF and watch some people lose their minds.Noted. Thanks.
Those are topic driven forums. Or at least they are supposed to be.We're not the wild troublemakers we once were, but we still take a sense of pride in having our own little niche on VN.

It results in the same thing. Factionalism is very real on VN. Many posters pick a forum and stick with it. Wouldn't surprise me if the gaming forum is the same way. Has anyone proposed merging them with music and television? It's all entertainment. And that's not even taking into account people generally dislike change. Goes back to the belief, "if it ain't broke, why fix it?". But I would think mods, more than anyone, would be aware of the tribalism found in various forums. Again, it's not unique to the Zone and the Pub.Those are topic driven forums. Or at least they are supposed to be.
