I agree with Z3bra. I think that if we are too hasty in merging both communities together. Personally I would keep things seperate, but continue to promote on a similar level. Speaking from experience, I found Nixers through /r/unixporn, and everyone here has been completely welcoming and friendly. Truth be told I dont see the point in a full out *merge* because both communities already have a large connection with each other. Both have different purposes, but nothing is stopping the nixers individuals from joining #unixporn and vice a versa. There is no barrier between the two they just serve different purposes. So overall I think we should just continue, and let everyone make their own decisions. I appreciate a place to voice my opinion, and I wish you all a great day!
