[quote="zib_redlektab"]I added a redirect forum to the desert shard volcano project forum, at least until we can set up the forums here.  ;)

I think that if there is to be any discussion of volcano, it should be here since it is related to age building. i know there's a 'super-secret' forum, and you can either keep that where it is or have a private forum here, but i think that any public discussion should go on here. think of this as another merger, this time with the volcano project forums. B)

Well, I definetly wouldn't call it a "merger", as we've already declined mergering with Age Builders. The Volcano Project isn't centered around Age Building, in fact, it started out long before Age Building was ever introduced into the community with the attempts of getting Pots ages online.

We did, however, agree to work in cooperation with Age Builders as *part* of our project does deal with Age Building.

After giving it some thought, I think that having a forum here would be good for cooperative work between the groups. However, the actual Volcano Project in and of itself will have to be kept on The Desert Shard.

That's my opinion anyways, Zrax has the final say since he's the Project leader.

In the end its upto you guys on what you want to do. Technically VofD was never a merger. I just host their forums, I think later it was after the New Tree merger is when people thought it was a merger. New Tree has been the only official merger. So in that sense. If you guys wanted I would be willing to host a set of forums for you all. There would be no official Merger.

It's very nice of you to offer, Starfyre, however we do already have a set of forums of our own (linky).

As the others here have said, we have a private discussion area over on the TDS forums for Volcano, and Volcano tends to be more oriented towards the technical "making it work" side than the Artistic (capital A :P) side anyway.

I'm not saying I'd object to the creation of a forum area here, I just don't think it'd get used very much since we've already got all of our resources together over at TDS. Thanks for the offer though!

EDIT: Oops, repeated myself unneccessarily ;)

no offense, but i'd just like to point out that there are only 3 topics there, that are basically covered here, and more topics here.

unless you mean the secret forum. :rolleyes:

still, it's up to you. i think you should base your public operations here, but if not its ok too.

(also, i had no idea a merger was proped and declined. did this happen before the hack? :huh: )

Yes, the one you're talking about is a public one we just created only shortly after the project was released... The private dev forums actually include multiple other forum areas, the main one being the most active one on the entire forum :P This is what I meant when I said that we already had everything over there...

If I remember right Myridean was going to propose a merger to Zrax. But I didn't know if she actually did or not as I never heard back from her on it. And yes it was before the hack.

And its no problem. I understand completely. Now I might suggest a news forum over at the IC/Shard forum though instead of here. Volcano would be more tied in with the Shard since when Volcano is released the AgeBuilder shard will be patched for Volcano. Upto you again there. I can see the benefits of a News forum but at the same time. With a redirect link it may not be necessary, see bottom of the main index, either.

That sounds reasonable. By the way, will the Age Builder's shard be patched for phase 2 when it comes around?

Preferably it should be. Assuming of course Cyan gives its approval for Phase 2.
