Hmm, you're right #1. The benefits of merging is obviously more activity, but we're also risking some things by doing it, and this forum will no longer exist by itself.

Personally, I think an alliance would be better than a merge in the end, but I still want more suggestions from you people. I'm not saying that a merge is impossible, but we still need to talk this through even more.
