like for example : we still don't have a portal where people submit their animations !

Uhh. We do have a protal: http://www.stickpage.com/portal
The button is just not up there.

It would be divide and conquer for us all.
The amount of issues summed up by the sudden influx of members in a site merge will pile up and prove to be more of a hinderance than benefit.
There are things to consider:
-How the new members will cope
They do what we do and don't directly piss off old school members or face mod rape...
-How the staff will handle the situation
They would ban who acts stupid, spams, or pisses them off, same shit now...
-How the rules will change if necessary?
They wouldn't...
-If there will need to be an expanded moderation team, and who would be fitting for the job.
Pin or gtfo!
-How the forum will change to suit the majority need
Barely, maybe one or two sections for them if they are lucky...
I can see all these things becoming a problem if a merge of that magnitude were to occur.
In fact I think this is the last merge we'd want to have.
Agreed...

It is an awesome idea, but sadly, it wouldn't work :I.

Also, if you go on the forums of some other websites and mention stickpage, A LOT OF PEOPLE GET PISSED OFF AND SHOW THEIR HATE FOR STICKPAGE

Can't blame 'em...

Quote from Exxmorphing
that, my friend, is why we need an official ambassador to visit these sites and make peace.

Or better yet we leave them the fuck alone and let them be a happy community who stays hating Stickpage and never has to deal with Stickpage ever...

Agreed, but I hope that it happens in the future sometime, because with new members flocking on SP, attitudes are changing a bit on this site. People are now actually NICE.

The majority of the "new members" are underage kids who stay about a week and then leave, with the ones that remain adding to the "nice" attitude. Unless the other sites are in the same situation, it wouldn't go over so well given that the older people on the internet don't mix with the younger people on the internet.

I honestly think it would be great to have a large and diverse community full of flash, pivot, stykz, easytoon, and sprite animators, but I think it would be very difficult to handle. You would need more admins and moderators around the place. The worst that can happen from merging all these sites would probably be a civil war between different groups (and honestly that would be really cool to see).

Well I'm a member at Pivotanimation.org, and I discussed with the mods and admins, they denied the offer.
Honestly we dont think a pivot and flash community go together to say the least.
(No offense stickpage)

There was no offer. You don't speak on our behalf.

But still, a pivot and flash animation community do not mix in my opinion.

Well yeah I guess it's something very hard to achieve this full out merge thing, I just thought it would be cool and all. So much for great ideas :/

Umm there are people who animate with pivot here and are very well accepted within the community.
