I suppose it was like CL and vital not being invited when TNS set up. I know that sounds argumentitive but it is not intended to be, you had your reasons.
OK fair enough, but if there was never a problem being a part of the Rivals network for years until it got bought out then it seems a little harsh (in my opinion) criticising someone running a site on the Vital network?
As for your second point, I think I made my position clear in response to trulatic4eva namely
Even though the site I am involved with didn’t receive an invite, I think it’s a great idea in principle, Sunderland have a similar set up and it would only make our fan base stronger. Not with standing all the disputes and bickering of course
However, there are clearly technical problems involved with merging different forums as those part of networks have to retain the ‘house style. The only other thing we agreed when we merged our own three indepndent sites was not to accept commercial advertising, which again would make merging this site and others difficult. But it was by no means a closed shop and still isn’t. aAs I said I think it’s a great idea in principle
