Well... I don't think I'm a real big fan of this merger [from what I've seen TPM is better than both of them] and I like the forums the way they are. TPM has been changing for the worse for the past two years or so [2001 was the best in my opinion] and this just takes the cake. But the forums should not change, nor should they be merged, as far as I'm concerned.
As for the fanfiction rules--I say leave 'em alone. **** spp and bmg.
