Merging a Castlevania forum with a forum about a furry webcomic is indeed not the greatest idea in the world.

Ok, once again, no one is suggesting a forum merge, only that the CvCrypt become the website aspect, and the CvDungeon be it's forum. Very simple.

So, the forum would still be called the Castlevania Dungeon Forums, but it would be linked to from the Castlevania Crypt. The reason this might be a good idea is because the website aspect of the CvC gets updated quite often, while the CvD website hasn't been updated in almost a year.

Everybody wins.

Castlevania Corner always seemed like the dark corner (no pun intented) of the Castlevania internet community to me. Right up there with ICVD.  :-X   

I think this largely has to do with those places not really being about Castlevania. Rather, from what I can tell from having seen them, they're places where about twelve or so friends who have not much interest in Castlevania go to talk about..... random stuff, and have periodical drama that often gets too personal. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. I guess it's interesting that they are there.

Holy Crap you know it's weird when Olroxshade posts!
**gives Olroxshade the Lurker award**

I think everyone here needs to calm down.

I will answer for these:
1. The Castlevania Dungeon Forums is a good forum (in my opinion) and we welcome people from any other places, so long as they obey and follow the rules.
2. The Castlevania Dungeon (the site) is quite stagnant, but it will not be, for much longer.  Within this month, I will be finishing up some works and then people (that's you guys from the forum) can submit entries which will get uploaded as articles.  However, I have to get the system in place in order to do this properly.  I have Kurt's blessing to do so.
3. I don't think a forum/site combination/merge, or however it seems to be proposed, will be happening, but we appreciate the suggestion.

Lastly...
WTF Vampire Killer?

I figured she was being sarcastic, as I could not have explained it any plainer. So I was sarcastic back. When she posted "what?", I actually lol'ed because I figured she was joking.

Forum mergers are usually pretty stupid. What's really the point? I don't see what the Castlevania Dungeon really has to gain from doing something like that. The members from the other forum can either post here or not. What else really needs to be done? With all due respect, I, personally, wouldn't share my power with some people from another board, especially one much smaller. I mean... why?

Do you base your entire opinion about a web site soley on its forum? I sure hope not. There are many great sites out there that don't even have forums. Someone else in this thread was saying how they were happy that we are all one now. With all these other Castlevania sites or forums closing down, this means that the Castlevania series itself is going downhill, and as a Castlevania fan this concerns me.

And when the CVDF finally closes it's doors, we'll all have to migrate to the gamefaqs forum

I really don't see how a forum merger is going to revive a video game series.

No one suggested a forum merger. I was saying how its bad for Castlevania that there are not many people wanting to talk about it online as there were 5 years ago. This is not good for the series.
