While unions aren't nearly as active as those forums, there are some that still get decent activity, such as this one. If only GS could see that unions are the main reason the some users stay around here.TAMKFan
Decent isn't enough, they need most unions to be half or nearly as active as the main forums, and when this said:

"This is especially true when you take into consideration Union usage statistics--on a website that gets well north of 100 million pageviews a month, Unions contribute just over one quarter of one percent of that."

We are probably part of that over a quarter of a percent, but 95%+ of unions aren't and GS sees that as a problem.

Not gonna work even if we protest. corporations just have too much power. The only way for them to keep unions would be to either to fire the bigwigs in charge before tomorrow or to manage to get a massive lawsuit filed against them.

They haven't really given us an update on when the new site will go live for awhile, but the beta process and all the other stuff may take at least about  two months.After the beta process they may start work on the site again unless they do the changes during the beta.

Over the past year and a half, I have enjoyed coming to this site to post in unions because they had a friendly community that liked to talk about a variety of things rather than making random threads like you see in OT. It truly was a lot of fun posting with you guys during this time, and I'll never forget it once the site does change.

As for getting our voices out there, I absolutely agree that's what we should do. After all, we won't be heard if we don't say anything.

That confirms it, unions won't be saved, Gamespot just wants everyone posting in one place instead of others.:?

Also it won't be a union anymore either.

You guys are so wrapped up in yourselves... Rather than fight for your community, you're just gonna complain that "it's not good enough" and resign to losing the board as a whole? Stand up and fight. If this board means anything to you, then get yourselves ready to talk to the admins. Have an officer represent the union in Julian's place if you must.

If you guys actually want the place to live. But if you wanna complain that "it's not good enough", then fine. Be my guest and let this place die. I'm going to fight for my union.

Which isn't a union anymore once on the new site.

I don't mind it being imported, but it's pretty much missing what makes a union a union. It's now seen as another forum where anything can happen.

I would rather unions not be touched at all, but you can't win em all it seems. So let them import it if they want, just don't expect it to be close to being the same as before. I'm aware that things change, but not always for the better.
