Just to point out some things: Oni has a life outside of this forum. A merge is no little thing. Give him a few days to get through everything. He doesn't have a huge team working on this, it's just him. He has masses of messages to get through. If he doesn't reply to yours immediately, be patient, send it again. If you feel it is still taking too long then speak to a MOD. In terms of content not being already moved over, again, give him time. He could have made the forum completely unavailable for a while so he could focus on moving everything and making the necessary changes. However, he has left it open for everyone to use, despite the fact he's got enough on his plate. In terms of compensation, he doesn't actually have to give you any. It's his forum and he's not making any money off of it so he can simply choose not to bother if he wants to. However, as he has stated in the thread, he wants people to contact him about it and he has decided to help. If you have already done so then that is fine, just wait. I know some people are having their issues sorted faster than others, but let's be serious, he can't do everyone's in one go.
For those of you who are happy with how things are, keep on keeping on.
Finally, I wanna say a massive welcome to Historic members! I know this first bit is a pain in the ass getting everyone sorted and the things fixed, but I really do hope you enjoy your time here. There are plenty of friendly members and it's a really nice community. I'm around if anyone wants to chat.
