i doubt there is much to change
they still have to follow the fansite way which will still exist.

As far as we are aware there is a strong indication that official fansite status will still exist after the merge, given that it is likely fansite voting will open shortly after the merge and I am told this by a source I am inclined to trust. Nevertheless in the event it didn't we would reintroduce forum VIP but other than that I can't see much changing. It would be a take it as it comes kind of situation.
