Fine, lets do it, go all in on the merger. I see no huge problems on the horizon. Bring some new blood, most are scared away or flamed immediately upon arrival to the new merged site.
It's like merging high schools, and we are the "urban" school that just owns the "suburban" (code for pussy) school at everything. Yeah, we might have a drug problem, but we have never had a wet dream all over a cousin... and talked about it.
