Okay, it's obvious what the majority around here think (Based on current poll results), but here goes...

1).  I'm not really sure what the issue is regarding finding someone's signature.  It's a very simple process that takes 30 seconds (Depending on Internet speeds and how the forum feels at that moment).  No matter where they post on the forum, you're going to find it.  It doesn't matter if it's in the Windows Trading thread, the Android Trading thread, or anywhere in a public thread.

So, the idea that merging everyone together is going to make it easier to find out what your neighbors need is a moot point.  That, and the cold hard fact is, at least 80% or more of the people on here (on ANY platform), don't bother looking at signatures anyway.  They rely on what's in your game profile, or, even better, simply hit send in return (Regardless of whether you need it or not).

2).  Placing ANY restrictions on the amount of conversation going on to me is completely against the idea of a forum in the first place.  We're SUPPOSED to communicate and converse, that's what FORUMS are for...

If you restrict the amount of conversation, why have the forum at all, except for maybe coordinating space launches, quests, etc.

3).  The recent reorganization of thread and forum sections is good.  It's nice and clean.  Merging Alliance and Space Launch threads was a good idea too, as they aren't as used as the trading threads.

4).  As a couple of other Window's players have already stated, our thread is much, much more than a trading thread.  We have a pretty tight group of people that converse, joke, assist, advise, console, cheer each other up, support each other and generally have more than a trading thread.

It's one of the things that I love about this place.  Sure the weekend codes, tips, suggestions, guides, etc. are helpful and great, but the people I have met in the Windows thread (And this would also include those newer cross platform people that post in it as well) have gone beyond that.  We're friends.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that other platforms don't feel the same way, but from what I've seen of poking around this place, there's nothing close to what we have.  And it would be a very sad day indeed, if we lose that because everyone has trouble finding out what their neighbors needs are just a tad quicker then they can now (Or so they think).

I will support whatever the majority goes with obviously.  I'm not going to leave this place, protest or jump up and down screaming if it changes.  I've met too many great people here, we've had loads of great fun and camaraderie, and I will be forever thankful to them for their help, as well as the powers that be at this forum, for getting me where I am today in the game.

As Porky Pig would say, "That's all folks"!
