I wouldn't mind the concept. It's just the execution of merging forums leaves something to be desired. And then there's the fact that I would want to post in this new forum, and am repulsed by Star Wars and Star Trek alike. Would that be fair to the Star Blag, for me to ignore it?

If SD or HotD has access to the database, a simple "UPDATE xxx WHERE" statement would be able to easily reassign all the topics in one forum to another.

*snort* I don't need database access to merge forums and bulk-move threads. The control panel holds all the answers.

Luigiman7 · 08-06-2009, 07:55 AM

Gasp, moderator secrets.

Metal Man · 08-07-2009, 03:31 AM

Yeah, you only use database access if you're slumming it with a less-than-fully-featured forum package.

Or have one heck of a data issue.

Well it wouldn't be called either for starters. Most likely either just "Science-Fiction Forum", or "~~Syfy~~Sci-Fi Forum".

You can ignore whatever topics you like. Doesn't stop anyone else.

I like this idea too. Not that that will ever mean anything. :thumbsup:

Redshirt · 08-10-2009, 11:56 AM

Has this ever happened before? The merging of two forums I mean.

heh · 08-10-2009, 12:47 PM

yeah. misc and viggif main merged once, at least in function.

Metal Man · 08-10-2009, 01:33 PM

Yeah, once upon a time, Misc was like a combination of things and had random forum games while main was... ...something.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 08-11-2009, 12:22 AM

the users asked for something worthwhile? amazing

It's a pity neither of those forums exist.
