Planet Discussions merged into Popcorn Buzz

[Gizmo]

Planet Discussions has officially merged into Popcorn Buzz, allowing me to focus all my energy on growing and improving Popcorn Buzz going forward.

With this merge, we’ve welcomed around 40 new members along with a small number of posts and threads.

If you notice any threads looking a little wonky or out of place, please let us know — we appreciate the extra eyes!

Thanks for being part of the Buzz

Great idea!

Running two of the same types of forum niches can be a lot of work!

I agree, it's a great merge! Looks like both of my accounts from the two forums merged successfully as well. Thanks!

I think it didn't do too great because it was on phpbb.

It's better than it used to be. Can just drag and drop files nowadays.

phpBB is decent, thats where I got my start in the forum world. Helped me get comfortable with forums in general, then I moved on to better softwares.

I had a XF license but stupid me thought I would never run forums again so I sold it

I sold mine too, and I am also never going to run a forum again... but I'm sticking to that. I am the type of person who has to fully commit to something and running my busy forum was interfering with my (offline) life. I was neglecting relationships, being very sedentary / not exercising very much, staying up too late and being tired at work, not walking or playing with my dogs as much as they deserve, etc. Even when I was offline and trying to do those things I mentioned I would be on my phone constantly checking the forum to make sure everything was okay. It was all getting to be a bit too much and I realized that the "regular member" role is better for me, so thats what I'll be. I'll cheer on whoever wants to run a forum, but I don't want to run one myself.

At least with this one @fords8 owns it so if I get a little less motivated I can step back for a bit without closing the forum. I'm also entirely grateful that @Krissycakes09 agreed to be moderator. She's one of my really closs online friends.

I also have a movie/tv blog and an American Horror Story Blog I really need to do some changes to.

Love you @Gizmo !!
So glad to help out.

Transactions for Popcorn have been created for posts from Planet Discussions prior to the merge. Some people may have more popcorn than they did. I thought it's best to stay consistent with the merge so people still feel rewarded.
