Today there was a merger announced (and hopefully it's for real, not another April Fool's joke) between CivFanatics and one other site. Is this going to effect RFC's community in any way?

Ye gods, I hope this is an April fool...

There has always been something of a rivalry between 'poly and CFC, so it probably is :p

This is why I hate April 1st, because I never know when things are serious or not. -_-

Haha, yeah, but by the looks of this it is.

Maybe it's just me hoping :p

Have you seen the Google joke?

No, what is it?

I want this :(

Here it is (http://www.google.com/tisp/).

April foolery?
“We are seizing on the opportunity to combine the extensive resources of both Apolyton and CivFanatics that have been cultivated for many years”, said Quick when asked to comment. “Some may ask why we are taking this significant step now. To them I say, why not now?”Now=April fools day? Hmmm...The announcement looks serious enough, though...

EDIT: Damn, Edungeon beat me to Google linkage :p

Hehe, that's awesome.

And on the site merger, I really wish I knew if it was serious or not. It's really killing me.

Damn, Edungeon beat me to Google linkage :p

:cool:

If this is true, I suggest we move the RFC forum here (http://z4.invisionfree.com/Civ_Players_Center/index.php?act=idx), for these (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5270274&postcount=77) reasons.

:(:(:(:(

I made a thread about the merge to this forum.

Where? :confused:

Called Important question to Rhye:

In this forum I made it...

Ahh. Misunderstanding. I thought you meant that you made it in CPC, the bright new hope and beacon :p

This is a really really bad sign, unless Rik is in on the joke too in a really serious way.

Well, it's clearly not a joke. It's April 2nd. I suggest we all jump ship now, and ask the mods on the CPC forum to move the RFC forum there. We can hopefully salvage most of the regular posters. If I were Rhye, I would delete his mod from this forum and replace it with a link to CPC.

I don't get it... What's so bad in site merging?

CivJunction doesn't have anything else but Civ-stuff(no OT), and some don't like Apolyton.

CPC was closed?! If this is a prank, it is genious masterpiece. If not, then my opinion towards Thunderfall has changed completely.

And it seems that you will have to pay to play some type of games.

But in the end it´s a joke.

As long as I don't have to register another account, I'm sitting pretty.

Dude, it was 15 after Midnight, in America, on a Sunday when you posted that. Although now, at 9am, the chance of this being a joke has lessened.

EDIT: So they would start charging people to download your mod Rhye? If you need help ($$$) with finding the resources to host the mod independently, I can PayPal something over. Wouldn't be the first time I've payed to keep a game free ;D.

it was a joke after all.... =p

we can all go back to normal now xD

Very funny. Really, I can't stop laughing...

Let's all not tell anyone who happens to miss thee announcement. ;)

As if.

Grrr... Not funny at all.

Don't tell me I'm the only person who visits Civfanatics solely for the RFC development forum? :(

Me too! I saw the merger thread here then went to the front page :p

Hehe, this is the only thread I use. I also check up on the ViSa forum every now and then as well, waiting for ViSa 3.0's arrival.

There are other fora/forums? (choose your plural, depending on whether you're a grammar Nazi or an ignoramus) :mischief:

How come we don't switch to Urdu grammar when we talk about Shampoo or Bungalows?

Because, I suspect, there are less Urdu grammar Nazis than Latin grammar Nazis :p

I personally find using a latin plural stadium/stadia in english very silly

Very true Rhye, very true. Except in those cases where the word hasn't actually been adopted as an English one, of course.

Dammit! Whenever I try to say something vaguely grammar related, I always mess up my grammar. :(

It's like adding the plural "s" to english words in italian.

Saying "faccio molti sports" instead of "faccio molti sport" is not only silly. It's wrong.

That sounded like morality preaching. I shall begin misquoting.

(the topic is already far too off-topic anyway)

Uh, so, this is not spam: It's wrong to say "the eagle is landed," and should be "the eagle is landing."

So, how many of you guys thought I was going to say:
a) "the eagle has landed"
b) "the chicken --something--"
c) something else entirely?

I won't be surprised if I'll be deemed guilty of killing this thread.

In Soviet Russia, Eagle lands on YOU!!
In Soviet Russia, CivJunction merges with YOU!!

Seriously, this has got to be one of the last few threads about the merger that the mods haven't closed yet. Vive la resistance!

Yes! Stop the merging!

Pamphlet-bomb the community, but don't spam in other boards.
