I see what you mean. The fact that you waited too long for a merge might be another reason why people got tired and bored. Besides, according to my experience on PN, it really didnt seem to be so special compared to Pokecity.
I think you know that a forum needs a feature to attract members, this was why you've been seeking for a way to build up PN's shoddy server in September? So yeah, perhaps PN would have been completely different had it got its own server. I understand it so well, since it was Mysidia's server that saved us when we were having activity issues back in December.
Well you seem to have misunderstood my point again. Anti actually didnt really hate Mysidia that much, he simply treated us the same way as other smallers forums. His contempt or discrimination against smaller forums was the main reason why this affiliation was a mistake right from the beginning. I saw the two sides struggled to get along after Anti demanded his mod status on our server.
Anyway, did you ever think about this question? Why would Dark Abyss be so sure that Dark Azelf/Luke was power abusing? And why would they ended this affiliation just because Luke got kicked(dont get me wrong, you know the difference between kick and ban)? Yes, there were problems long before we departed, and I guess you understand why.
Still, I see no point of further explain everything now, since the two shoddy communities seem to have gone pretty well without each other. Look at this screenshot I took last night, why not just congrats to both Mysidia and PC and end this discussion now?
