Hi I'm just here to announce that some users including: Enoch,Karateduo01,MO, and a few others are working on a new message boards, http://ninjagotestforum.freeforums.net/ (link to our new message boards) we have included some new things and some old things, like Lego universe, and reintroducing the force awakens/sequel era for the Star Wars RPs, and gave Jurassic world RP forums and added stories too! Some things are missing (Elves,Friends,Disney) but we have reasons, we don't know much about friends or elves so if we saw a huge interest for them, we would add them but for Disney we were thinking of adding a Kingdom Hearts RP Sub-forum to it, though we did it as at least 25 people to sign to make that happen, otherwise Disney will be more like its Old/Current Offical LEGO Message Boards So here's the link for our Message Boards http://ninjagotestforum.freeforums.net/ (The name is up to be changed as its about all things Lego related than just ninjago) And the Kindgom Hearts RP for The LEGO Disney Forums https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScBL3QOjwDHfaIM04PZH4HW6l6Pm0xnWvjDCRPxXHpRlQzCpg/viewform (We need at least 25 people to sign to make the Kingdom Hearts RP, due to some staff having doubts about it)

Regarding development status -- I have just checked your forum and ours is easily surpassing yours in development. While we could work well together as one forum, ours is definitely further-developed in addition to having more members.
Try telling JJ that, my main focus to be honest is just keep the message boards alive and put out new content (heck most of the forums to be selected from in our revival site, I stayed up till 4 a.m. To make) as again as an example, the force awakens RP, that was shut down by the mods since it wasn't going the way they wanted it to go, aka "oh you want the force? Too bad we don't *deletes sub topic*"

MasterOshawott has other plans. :p

Let's calm down, this conversation coming off pretty aggressive, not something we want for either of our communities. Also if you wanted us to join, definitely telling us how inferior ours is to get us to join is the wrong way of going at it. I ain't one of the developers of the site, but I know em, and I also know that you telling them how, "inferior" their site is will not get them to join you, in fact it will probably do the exact opposite. But I can't say, I'm not them.
Anyways, I can't make a decision of our whole group, but I know they are not wanting to go and join you. I can't say I would join you either, but I can also say I think the, "competition" is not a good way of describing the two. I know that my group is full of hot-heads, I know they will not back down, but I also know you won't either.
In light of that, as a whole we are not interested in discussing who's is, "better" or which one is, "gonna get the people". We both started with the same mindset, let us not get off-track from that. This inter-bickering will not serve any purpose other to cause divide in a divided community. We need not speak on these matters unless one side can bring something constructive and/or new to the table.

We can still have a TFA RP on our board... We're reviving the LOTR forum.

Agreed in full. I would like to point out that they claimed that our site was less developed, and I was simply pointing out to them that this is not actually the case.

We will keep all opinions on both sides to ourselves. Which is better or more developed is not only trivial a few days in development, but also arbitrary. Lest we forget the real MB's are still around? Does it not feel like arguing about such a trivial matter is like arguing about who gets the inheritance in front of your dying grandmother whom you spent much time with?
All cases considered, we don't need to discuss this any further. I'm glad that we can come to an agreement though and can resolve some things like civilized adults.

I know KD said to end the conversation, but we had everything except the background and logo, including customized ranks, emotes, full forums, etc. You had... just a background and logo.

Regardless of what my opinions are on which one is better, I think it's important that both boards either combine or are strongly linked together in some way, as they appear to be the two biggest "new MBs" and it's important that the community stays together as much as possible.
