That's my first impression of the idea of complete incorporation of the two, NoMoDo ... don't like it ... without having thought it out much, admittedly .... but, vive le difference, imho, at least such natural difference as develops within each .... a lot of practical synergies can be gained without lumping them into one, and it does seem like there would be business advantage in retaining the two distinct in some ways
But i'd sure like to see SI's subjectmarks page load within say ten times the 1.002 seconds of the iHub one, lol ... the Dryer version used to load first only the threads on which you had new messages, but the go2net version waits until it loads the whole thing, and that it does veeeerry slowly
Search is another thing, good workable search-this-thread and search-this-poster, like at iHub .... last-50 on each poster too, i use that a lot here, it's a great way to catch up in a hurry
