dad -- dhz merger

yeah I sorta hijacked some threads on this topic and ehm I`d like to start a hypothetical [read HYPOTHETICAL] discussion here on the merger of these 2 boards the advantages .. the disadvantages and why it did not work out last time it was tried [I missed that attempt -_- ]

now to spark things off being on the pro side I`d like to list some of the advantages and my view on the situation .. feel free to comment argue bitch on and or flame me
yeah I`m masochistic that way XD

[best way to start a good argument is by some venting no ? ^.^ V]


[history]
okay short history lesson ... we had the DaD run by some peeps.. some people left some people arrived yada yada yada DaD at several points split up in diferent fractions 2 of these being the dad as we know it now and dhz this seperation split the community in half wich at the time wasnt realy that important as both new fractions were "healthy"
well sorta at the time

[current status]
currently due to digimon lets face it .... having gotten old .. intrest dropped the community faded and we are now left with some bits of old people lots of lurkers and the rare occasion of fresh victem *cough* member

so basicly we got 2 rather weak communities on just about the same topic
wich leads me to this .... it is in the best intrest of BOTH sides to merge ... and create a healthy community again ... a project that big will spark some new intrests new communications between both communities new activity and a larger single group ..so far .. so good

[war]
I am aware of the mini fights wich flourished between dad and dhz there but dad`s been trough much worse in the past so it shouldnt be to hard to drop past diferences ......


[site management+ simple math]
organizing a website when busy = lots of strain
1 person to pull that off = lots of stress
2 people splitting that load = less stress for both = more frequent updates = happy community = fun fun fun

[whatever]
so ... meh toss out some pro`s and cons and whatever is on your mind ... oh and 1 more thing whatever it is you want to say say it .. if you think someone from the dhz or someone from the dad might take offense .... say it anyway and fat whatever evil comment you have straight out into the open so we can all get a good strong whiff of it and judge it by odor scent taste and [color if its realy rancid]


for the above to work .... dont ever take anything said here personal ... ... ever .. since who cares .. its the friggin internet .. serious buisiness : )




[ah but ofcourse do take the poll serious]


edit: nvrmnd poll didnt work

Well first off it's if at first you don't succeed, try try again. Second I doubt a peace agreement can be reached between the DAD and the DHZ. Based on what I've seen happen you can sort of make a Hatfield and McCoy comparison. Yes it would be nice if everyone could work together and be happy but sadly that is not how the world is. I know from an e-mail confirming that CR and Soni like each other. Why they being the webmasters can't work something out I do not know.

with an attitude like that its never gonna work heh not being able to work together can be dealt with trough a nice and healthy discussion and argument and or lame fest
the idea in the other thread sugests a nice way of updating so that as a field wont form trouble anymore site policy could be troublesome but again a good discussion is all it takes to get matters lined out

Can anyone fill us in on exactly what did happen?

To be honest, I just don't really see a point to it. It would be a major pain in the butt to merge, frankly, and I kinda like having my own place anyway. It's not a matter of emotional discomfort at teaming up with Chibi or anything, but our sites are run too differently to merge anyway, I think. Different rules, different ideals, different visitors who've come to expect different things, etc. And just because it's slow here doesn't mean digimon hentai has died down all that much. Don't sweat the small stuff ;)
Soni

hmm .... if the ill effects I speak of have not hit the dhz then it has nothing to gain from a merger since there would be no unhealthy community to repair via this method rendering my arguments obsolete

wich means the dad wil remain as what it is ... meh I tried

Nice to see soni got my email but two sites does increase the amount of pics we can get. And the DHZ has found pretty much every digimon manga out there (except for some yaoi ones).
Don't sweat the small stuff Wasn't that a song or something?

Well, there's a perfect example of some problems we'd face. The DaD and DHZ have very different ideas of what's suitable for a manga section. Mine has all of the japanese ones as well as a non-digimon section (which is, frankly, too big for its own good) whereas Chibi took down all of the Japanese ones to respect the original artists' work. There are several problems beyond the surface that would make this merge just too much of a pain in the butt. Besides, there are many who have left this site, rather bitterly I might add, and would probably feel awfully uncomfortable being forced to re-join the people they laid the online bitch-slap upon. And likewise, there are probably people here who wouldn't like to see them come back.
Soni

At the very least we should use the proposed new site design here.

There are plenty of people who cross-post to both sites, including both webmasters.
