It's obvious that this is fake. Why would Ardy create a large poll on Antiquus regarding what changes to make if he was just going to have it all merged in a couple of months? Obviously you wouldn't bother asking the community for feedback if you were planning on just merging it all. I remember the shit storm that a rumored G force/ Outline merge caused so not sure why anyone would consider the act of merging again with another board ( in this case, ZNRS) which is about as incompatible as G Force was in terms of personality and management style. Nice try though but you would have to do better to pull one over on me.

This better be a joke. As boring as ZNR was, I kinda miss it and hate the fact it merged with the official Zathyus Forums. Antiquus has nothing to offer for me, so I could care less what happens with that. Outline however, is a forum I visit daily because I enjoy this place as how it is. So if the merge would be real, that means everything moves to Zathyus and that would suck big time, because you guys don't have anything that resembles a community of there. Simply moving/merging, would not solve your problem. It would only make it so that more people leave. My opinion. |

Are you quoting the Zathyus Network mission statement?

One of the main focuses for Outline this year has been the 'evolution', as our tagline suggests, of ZetaBoards resources and design. We're driving to push the limits of design trends in resources to completely reshape the experience one receives when they enter a ZetaBoards forum. We don't want any ZB board owner to feel as though they're defined by the tools they're provided by choosing a free forum host. We don't do it out of desire for our board to prosper, granted that is an incentive, but we do it out of respect for the software we've been provided with. With our goal in mind, my close affiliation with Zathyus, and the precedence that the ZBTZ set, a merge became a very real possibility. A merge not only allows us to expand our consumer base, but it also grants us new, unprecedented tools and familiarity with the software we could never hope to achieve as an independent. Things that we're going to be bringing to the table for this merge: New talent and ideas for a new default theme, plans to evolve the Zathyus resource development community, and a fresh outlook on the official community at Zathyus (and, arguably, every forum brings that - but I believe it's already been mentioned how 'incompatible' (I would use the word diverse) the two communities are). Now I understand there's concern among people who feel the ZBTZ fell apart when it become ZNR, but I urge you to trust me that I've taken all the necessary steps to prevent that from repeating. I've made sure that several substantial projects and leadership styles that were in place here will be migrating over to our 'portion' of Zathyus. I will also be retaining a key role in the leadership and will make sure the interests that I served here are also served in the merge - because it's not about taking this board and turning it in to something else, it's about taking what this board had and migrating it to where it will be better served. I also understand the confusion behind the April 1st announcement - it wasn't my idea, but Stephen did eventually get me to yield so that he could have his fun.

I believe it is little more than a joke, but if it isn't, then I agree it will ruin Outline.

I think as members and sharetakers in this process we need to trust our administration. We have best intentions for this network and it's users in mind. |

No. Assuming this is really happening, this would be the worst decision Outline has ever made. I can actually see the benefits of Antiquus merging - or at least becoming official - since it is barely staying alive these days. Outline is doing fine though, it doesn't need to merge and there's absolutely no reason to do so. I'm just hoping this is like the prank two years ago, when ZN used the ZNR merge as a way to see what people thought of the idea without actually planning it at the time. |

I'm not as active as I once was here (as if I ever was), but even I have to agree with the above statements. This move, if it is serious or were to actually happen, would ruin Outline and the great community it has. There is no community on ZNRS - there ISN'T supposed to be a community on a support board. I am still 100% in the belief that this is an elaborate April Fools' prank planned between the administration of the three boards, so I'm not taking it that seriously, but if this is still here on April 2nd, then I'll have that mindset about it. |

I fail to see how split this is. Outline is nowhere near as active as it used to be. Up until recently, hardly anybody was releasing themes, and albeit there are more released, it's nothing new. It's always something that was made a while back, or a theme made for a specific forum. What the ZB community needs, is one forum, to house the resources, to pool together it's members, and to help restore everything to the way it once was. A few years back, ZNR was thriving, it was active, and it offered people the tools they needed to not only make their boards functional, but to learn how to skin, theme, and design. ------- I can see where the hate comes from. You guys don't want your little hideaway to be ruined by a merger. That's all fine and dandy. But you have to realize that this will come to an end eventually. And they are taking the appropriate steps to assure all of you that what is offered here, doesn't die, and disappear. Trust in them, and with everybody helping out, it could turn ZB into what it used to be, when it was IF. Have you even noticed how barely any new faces show up in our communities? ------ Besides, you guys forget. This was Sith's forum. This was created shortly after his portfolio board fell through, to house his skins, themes, and designs. It's nice to see how well things have turned out for Outline, but at the end of the day, take it from member #8, this was not the direction this board was meant to take. It evolved into something far different from what Sith set it out to be. The times have been good to Outline, far greater than they have been to really ANY board. And through that evolution, I believe it has reached what you could call an end. With that theory in mind, let it further evolve, even if evolution means to merge with another board, it won't be all bad, ya know? Edited by Seraphim, Monday, 1. April 2013, 13:20.

How is it at a the end? Sure, the old people are gone, but that's from EVERY forum, not just Outline. Merging with ZNRS will only help ZNRS, Outline is doing just fine on it's own, there is no way that ZNRS can help it in anyway, and I can only see it going downhill if the merge does happen. |
