Thought Tyen was just practicing on the forums for his bot army to make money in other ways. So, wasn't directly making money off the forums, just indirectly?

Why is that a problem, exactly?
Like 1000 people registered over there, that's most of the core plus lots of the lurkers.
Not sure what the problem is. If this place goes down, everyone knows where to go now.
We've successfully navigated this conundrum such that MMORPG can do whatever they want, and the vast majority of us already know where to go in the event that happens.
But it seems like the majority of the activity is over there, so I think give it time.
Shit will hash out.
The big fear would be this place going tits up without this big push to get everything in place in case that happens.

Someday I hope to learn how they feel about Drae selling them a stagnant property, and a nice helping of reduced reputation from one of the oldest mmorpg communities.

It seems to me that everyone should register over there but continue posting here until it starts to suck just so a_skeleton_03 or whoever is paying the bills doesn't rack up unnecessary bandwidth costs. Nothing wrong with MMORPG paying the bills for their site.

a_skeleton_03 owns it. No one is moderating. It's n-bombs and jew jokes already flying. It'll be 4chan or whatever pretty soon.

It's ok, little buddy. You can continue to shield your eyes from scary words on this forum.
What did the jew say to the mmorpg.com owner?
two more pennies and I'll sell them out without discussion

It's a problem because nobody really knows where "home" is right now. Some people are still on the "wait and see" train, while others are fully on board with dropping this place and moving. I am 100% in agreement with having another site setup and ready to go, but unless everyone jumps all in and moves over there, we are left with a fractured community.
Yes, I realize there are a ton of people already registered. Yes there is a lot of activity over there, but there is still also quite a bit of activity here. I personally would greatly prefer all of the activity be on one site or the other, not split like this.
I guess we just go back and forth between both for now and see what happens.

I see your point, and the main reason I disagree with it is only because I would define a fractured community differently.
I wouldn't define a community producing content in two places fractured, though I can see why you would.
My definition of fractured would be more like what happened after FOH blew up, where a lot of people got lost/left behind in the transition between Morenetz, and then this place.
As long as we're all in contact, and can communicate freely and no one is lost, or very few and only the most lazy, then I'm okay with two sites until things hash out.
But I dig what you're getting at.
