Hi everyone.
Some of you may have seen this post, which was put on Hannah's Board last night.
I would like some opinions from those of you who are here, and not on Hannah's board, or on both. What do you think about the above? Would you like to see the two unified?
I will speak to Hannah and see what she thinks. She has done a stirling job over there, but I have to admit personally it would be a little scary to completely lose control of the look and feel of this place. It has taken a lot of work on my behalf, and clearly Hannah's too and I would imagine she would feel exactly the same.
Of course there is no requirement, we can keep going as we are and Coldplaying.com might come back tomorrow and all this will go out of the window. But in the long term and if it does not then we need to make some sort of decisions.
Please give me your opinions. YOU are the reason this is here at all. So your views count.
Thank you for reading.

Some of you may have seen this post, which was put on Hannah's Board last night.
First off I want to thank both The Master and comicforce for the work they have been doing in giving coldplayers an outlet while we wait to see what happens in regards to the coldplaying forum. As someone who was a member of that board for over 10 years your work in keeping it alive in some shape or form means the world to me.
My only suggestion is that the two of you work together to make one unified board. I, like everyone else here, hope that the original coldplaying is up and running again soon, but in the sad case that it does not return I feel having one strong board will be the easiest way to bring everyone over. We will have a much better chance of rounding everyone up if we are all pointing them in the same direction. It will also give us a common pace to promote vis social networking.
Also I feel that this place needs its own name - its own identity. I understand that we are using it as a placeholder and that the name itself is a tribute to our missing coldplaying - but if this place does become our new home - do we really want to be calling it coldplaying dot com where are you? a year from now, 5 years from now, ten...
That might seem a bit silly to be thinking that far ahead but if you would have told me that after buying A Rush of Blood to the Head back in 2002 and signing up to a then 5 month old coldplaying that I would have still been checking it daily in 2014 - I would have thought that was a silly as well...
Please don't take this as me giving up on coldplaying or burying it before it is officially dead... I have visited that site daily for 10 years and want to see it return as much as anyone... I just feel that if a new community has to be formed these early days are crucial and we should all be working on the same place.
Thank you again The Master and comicforce for your work. This is going to be a big year for Coldplay news and I look forward to enjoying it with you all here if not on coldplaying proper. Raise the flag!
