My own personal opinion, I really don't care.
I've been going to the DaD for close to three years now, I've been there since shortly after it's board became an EzBoard for the first time, I've been there for almost all major events since, all three hackings, Aya and Ogre's exodus, the founding of the DHZ, and the arrival of many great and horrible members. I'm one of the oldest here and this is just another event to be chronicled in my mind.
Which briefly brings up my idea of actually having a chronicle of the DaD and all related boards from it's founding to today. But who am I kidding, it will never fly.
Getting back on topic, I'd have to agree that the only way to see how things turn out is to wait until it happens and watch. I think we'll see all sides of the issue, and see it explode onto the new board and the ensuing chaos afterward descending into a new order. I am willing to bet there will be flame wars on this and other related issues on the new board and these boards prior to the merger.
But I like to keep these in mind,
It can always be worse than it is, maybe the new site and board will be hacked to oblivion, or something else.
Things always work out for the better, after the merger, after all the chaos and dissagreement subside, things will fall into place, growing pains will go away and this event will be nothing more than a potentially unpleasant memory.
Nothing new will come if things go unchanged, this is fairly self explanatory but the longer things remain the same, the greater the chance of them becoming stale and nothing new entering the fold.
Well those are my rather lenghy two cents and I'm satisfied with it.
