Bob, why don't you just put it to sleep now? What is the point of spending months on what looks to me like a sham?

I'm sure that you know that it makes no sense from a business standpoint. You have twice the overhead. You know that the operations and the software both have to be merged.

As a software engineer, I know that merging systems that have grown organically and seperately is a nearly impossible task. It is probably a better apprach to pick one of the systems, and if there really are features in the other one that are really desirable and not present in the other one, to concentrate on adding those features to the surviving system.

IMO, you will not be able to retain the SI membership, because the style of management at iHub does not fit into the mindset of SI users.

Why not just shut it down now, and offer iHub memberships to SI members?

My guess is, you keep 10%. Probably not what you were bargaining for. But better than nothing.

BTW, do you intend to make a general public announcement to SI users? Something along the line of a home-page announcement and link, and private message to all users? Nothing more needed than a cheery "Hi, we're the new management! We think we bought a great place, and we'd like to hear how we can make it better."

Don't you think your new users deserve that? Why hasn't it been done? Why did those of us who know have to find out by following rumors to the source?
