lolfailed Merger Discussion

[bucky]

Sorry to hear Rush. To bad things fell through. Trying to be serious, I think VSN burns to many bridges. You had the owners excited about the move, but it sounds like a couple of ex-VSN'ers put up a lot of resistance.

I say groan away cause you all won't want to hear this, but maybe if the VSN Pirate porn bomb stuff stopped and the unmerciful trolling that's done, fewer bridges would be burned and we would have a better chance at a move like this.

Although, it's just human nature to resist change (like a merger) it's always gonna be an uphill battle. Too bad the owners caved to the pressure. Hope the next time things go better.

<3 as always.

The VSN Porn Bombing didn't hurt this.

The thing is that their members include JTRaines, .RoCkEtS1, and other former VSNers that were shit. These guys of course didn't want to go back.

These were not VSN guys who we should have been welcoming to anyways, they deserved to have been trolled off.

Each merger we have had has been terrible, with terrible groups of members. Bring on some members with balls, and then we have a good group.

Put someone else in charge of "merger's and takeovers" because every one that has been in the last year has ended bad. From TGL to those hockey sim league guys, no merger has gone right with VSN. Probably because VSN is just a forum with no direction and is just here.

I don't think any forum has a direction except people posting on it....

It may not have hurt this particular merger, but reps do get around.

And, the unmerciful trolling of these guys is what killed the merger. You were all ready to run Houston out of town, and I actually think he's OK as long as he's not fighting back from being trolled.

Point is, try and help guys become better posters instead of driving them out, and we wouldn't lose so many, and we'd have a much better chance at a merger.

I don't always think I'm right. These are just my opinions.

There was no hope for JTRaines. And Houston became better through tough love.

EDIT: Not that I disagree. But JTRaines? He needed to be trolled.

If you check this place out, VSN is actually statistically more active.

Another failed merge? Rush is always the bridesmaid never the bride...

[Rush]

Has nothing to do with me or VSN actually. The merge was actually "final" before they made their "merger thread asking the community if they wanted to". They were just covering their bases.

It sounded actually like about 70/30 were down for it and the rest would have went with the flow. I am sure most of them will wind up here at some point whenever the site is fucked up or gets sold. Those sites are so cyclical these days.

I set that site up a couple months ago and own the domain name, as a kind gesture, I haven't forwarded the domain to Meatspin.

No one goes to that link. You need to link www.realsportszone.com to meatspin, somehow. (Or TGL...)

[Rush]

I have a soul.

On a different note though, you guys should go check out how butthurt everyone is over at VSN about the failed merge. They are literally getting pissed about it... Calling us pussies, one of their admins gave them the green light to porn bomb us, etc. It's rather amusing to see their real personalities come forth.

I like Rush but it was plainly obvious the merge would have been a huge disaster as 90% of the rest of the members over there try way too hard to be hardasses. It is really showing now.

Let's be hardasses.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

DO IT RUSH!!!!!

[dMerch]

do it do it do it

[Rush]

Let's be hardasses.

He got trolled on VSN. :scared:
