Maybe I'm being naieve, but I'd like to think that all of us are equally welcome in both places no matter which version or variant of the game we're using. If that's no longer the case, I suppose I can fall back to the 2013 boards. That was my original plan anyway when RPGHost tanked, but Kato has done such a great job rallying the core group of quality fans here I felt it would be a disservice for us to ostracize ourselves.
I've been a member of "this" community in its various incarnations since 1996 or '97 back when it was still the WebRPG Town Hall bulletin board. Except for a couple flame wars circa 2000/01 - at least one of which I may have started - that caused the various eGroups/Yahoo! mailing lists to split after MPGN went under I don't think I've ever seen folks jumping on each other's shit as much as I have around here the last few weeks.
I mean seriously, the general incivility of the whole timeline holy war aside, what is there possibly to be gained by maintaining all this antagonism and subdividing an already tiny community even further?
