Rebranding and Merging: The Hot Trend in Communities? (1 Viewer)

I never said everyone, but I won't go back and forth here. Good luck with your merges. I'm not hating. I do wish you success, but I don't see how merging smaller communities helps, and I stand on that.

The only way I see it helping is if they are in the same niche and don't have a membership base with a ven diagram like this, which has been the case with the most recent mergers that I've witnessed.

Some of the rebranding feels lateral, but this is the power of running your own forum - your vision, your inspiration, your privilege to choose a new domain and design and name.

Excited to see the future of these communities!

Merging can be good. Merging can be bad.

Depends how it's done and who's judging whether it's good or bad.
