If this is real, we had better...
a) Keep CFC Colloseum forums
b) have free GOTM and HOF
c) keep CFC forum styles.
Should this be false, I am not surprsed or amused.

insurgency? WAR?!
perhaps some research on the superior pwning skills of [unnamed] posters at some [unnamed] forums is in order? or does ignorance pave the way?
CivJunction
AAHZ, welcome to CFC.

Edited: And here was a picture for you. Of course I can´t block my´posting account the whole time for you.
And if you want to read a nice story about Apolyton with a happy end, here is a possibility:

Not mIRC!!!
^ That's a (CFC) birthday present for you. 
I am just wondering how does one become a member of CivJunction? That is one lacking feature that does not make it quite so real. I must say that a lot of work has gone into this, so well done to both administrators of starting this joke up.
What is going to happen to th two teams in the latest ISDG? I seriously doubt that CJ would be allowed two teams in the competition and I doubt that may player would want to join forces, so this merger is seriously lacking in another area.
Everything is stored in a database, so the data, including your login data, can be easily transferred over. Accounts on both sides will be merged, or dealt with on a case by case basis.
(I just wonder about eyrei's "zouave" account on Apolyton.

Yeh. Today I made a "game" that looks like the comp's blue-screened, on my mum's computer. This joke is even funnier!

By only keeping Apolyton files and forcing CFC users to make a new file.
That would cause outright war. This is Spar... err... CFC!
Call me cynical, but it won't be for long. Both 'Poly and CFC make use of those ads to pay for the bandwidth. You can bet they'll be adding ads up the wazoo.
The whole point of making certain features, such as GOTM, pay-per-use is to raise money without having to have ads. As I understand it, it was felt fair to have a small charge for these features, which are mostly used by the "hardcore" members who would not mind paying a small amount to keep them going. It means a nicer looking site all round.
Of course, everything else remains free, including the downloads. You can continue to download all the files, including mods, scenarios, units, and the rest for free. The File Database will remain basically the same, but Apolyton's files will be slowly added to it over the coming weeks, just as ours were when it was first put up. That means that pretty much all user-created Civ content will be available in a single place, without modders having to check both CFC and Apolyton for that elusive unit. I think the new site will be a real improvement, with the strengths of both of its parents.
I don't really understand much about the timing, but it's basically down to the mundane fact that server bills are paid at the start of each month, so it officially begins today. There was some talk that lots of people would think it a joke because of 1 April. In fact I think they may even have deliberately made the big announcement today so that people would wonder if it's a joke, and that would create some publicity when it turned out not to be, but I don't really know.
As for OT, I don't actually know if the new site will even have one. That might not have been decided yet - there are good arguments both ways. Probably.

Okay, so I'm playing the SGOTM4. I don't become a paying member and then what?
Long and short of it: Guess my team cuts its post count by 50%.

A hoax methinks.
Why the merge? TF never gave any hints to it before. And the explanation for April 1st isn't very convincing.
