I've gotten bored with micros, I'm sure I'll come back to them, but right now I'm more focused on other things. Activity all around the micro board has been slow, MIB, which usually always has a ton of activity is slowly dying. People seem quick to point out the problem, and the solution, which is generally advertising never works, because no one goes out and makes it work.
I know alot of people hate MIB here, but if MIB and MS combined or created a partnership, I think the sites could feed of eachother and activity would improve.

I agree, however both boards seem to prefer ignoring the others existence. I dont think there is a hatred for MIB, just that its rules on CC and commenting can be frustrating

I'd be all for getting people from MIB around, and vice versa. But you have to think that we're always going to favour this board and people from MIB will still post more there. Not many would take on more matches and double their workload.

No doubt most would favour their native board, but cant hurt to broaden feedback on your micros right? Its obviously not the type of place your really gonna get pounded with CC, but its not bad for showcasing your stuff, and seeing other's. No one's saying you gotta get involved in competitions n all that.
I have a thread on MIB discussing the lack of activity there too, if anyone wants to drop in.

I used to have an account on MIB, but I posted a micro once and I got some CC, I fixed it and I was told that "if I wasn't going to take the advise to not post my micros." I mean, I did take the advise, I posted that I did, and I was banned. Not really my style of moderation.

I don't even remember. This was a while ago. Back when I made my John Cena on WF:MF. that was the micro I asked for advise from. I'm still banned on this IP.

No thanks. I get your point, but combining the two will do nothing for long term. People will slowly tire of the other board and/or get annoyed at the opposite boards rules and quit anyway. I'll never join MIB because of its retarded rules, and i'm sure some of them would say the same for here.
If you want more replies post them on both boards, and the board that Famous/Jake/etc post on and you'll get more replies. I feel activity is perfectly fine here, so im not going to rush out and find a partner. My micros are going to stay here and basically only here.
and I agree with KOK, as I've heard of others being banned for stupid reasons like TXF getting warnings for absolutely nothing. I hate their nazi rules, it takes the fun out of things, plus a lot of people refuse CC which is idiodic.

Seems to have gotten a bit better round here now anyways. Bitching works? Who knew.

Easy way around the MIB folk really. Pop German insignia in your signature and watch the French bastards give up.

Alex, I wasnt having a go, so sorry if it seemed that way. I just feel activity here is perfectly fine. Last few PPVs have been great, we've got lots of up and coming microers as seen in NXT. Plus I find it odd M3G started this thread when he confessed he's bored of micros. That happens every now and then, plus theres other circumstances like myself now being away for two months and Alex away for a month. I think the sites clash in rules and priorities too much to make it work. We kind of have a working deal with CAWS.net which has been working already, I dont see the dire need for a convergence as I don't feel we are struggling enough to compromise our rules and way of doing things.
