The forum rules are pretty much the same as the Civ3 ones. The older and more resourceful your forums (city) gets, the more popular it will be.

In plain English, we don't have to merge in order to get a lot of members. As the forum gets older and we get more resourceful, people will flock to us. For instance, do you guys (and galls?) really think that Diabloworld and Cheatlist really merged with some other "small" forums at first?
