3 questions?

[Com Fox]

I've just read about the merge thread information and I need 3 things answered for me.

1: Would the name on your ForzaPlanet account will be gone (I know other details won't)?
2: I have a thread on both GTplanet and Forzaplanet I'm wandering what will happen to it?
3: Will the name of it be GTplanet or a different name?

Thanks for your time if you answer and kind of ironic for my 2 accounts as my GTplanet name is Reshiram5 and my Forzaplanet name is Zekrom5 and since they're soon going through a unification (You need to have a bit of Pokemon generation V to understand what I'm saying).

1. Yes, your GTPlanet account name will take precedence.

2. It depends on what the thread is and what forum it's in. If it's in one of our Forza-related boards, it will stay right where it is, and will simply appear as if it's posted under your GTP account.

3. GTPlanet's name will not change, and the ForzaPlanet forums which remain (all of the Forza-related boards) will not change their look or appearance. They will, however, be accessed under the "gtplanet.net" domain name instead of "forzaplanet.net".

I've wondered about this too (not that the account name matters to me, as I've picked the same), so I take it this will apply to everything else as well? In other words, your forzaplanet account will be gone, and all your posts will simply be moved over to your gtplanet account? So we can expect some gtplanet avatars to suddenly pop up in the Forza section then?

 

[Jordan]

Yes, that's correct.

 

[doctorrg]

Yes, that's correct.

Ok, thanks for confirming! 👍 Now I better go over to gtplanet and change my avatar.

is there any way that we could use our Forzaplanet name instead of GTPlanet? My GTPlanet name is based off of an old psn id that I don't use anymore.

That might work if Forzaplanet had more members than GTplanet..

Yes, I can arrange that.

Yes, I can arrange that.

That would apply to me as well. I'd prefer my Forza Planet name to become my GTP name.

 

[Jordan]

OK, sorry, I see this is going to become a way to get around the name change rules at GTP. Your new unified account will simply carry your GTPlanet username, as previously specified.

Which are pretty silly.

There's nothing "silly" about a community full of strangers.

My id for xbox live, psn, forzaplanet, rfactor2, pcars, supatunagt etc are all based off of the same name. GTPlanet is the one lone site that is different. So if you are concerned about identity, you would change it to match my Forzaplanet name or my gtp psn id. Forgive me but it is hard to not come to conclusion that you are more interested in using id changes as a way to sell you premium service which I think is sillly.

 

[Jordan]

It's silly for me to restrict access to something I want to discourage people from doing?

Regardless of what you think of Premium service, I will not disrespect those who have directly supported GTPlanet by letting others take free advantage of a privilege they have paid for.
