This is Eimi again.
Don't worry about what they have told you. Triad isn't going ANYWHERE!
We (the Council) were approached by Arlos with this idea of merging the Weyrs weeks ago, but we ALL agreed that we would not go ahead with this plan until we had made an UNANIMOUS decision to do so! If I hadn't tried to log into the site and the forums and hadn't found that my passwords had been changed, WITHTOUT MY PERMISSION, I might add, I could post to the list the entire discussion. But unfortunately, it seems I no longer have full access to the forum, and I can't seem to find my member sheet on the site. Had I not decided to jump on my friend's computer today to check my messages, I would not have known ANY of this was going on. No unanimous decision was EVER made to go ahead with this plan, and it WILL NOT go forward. Remember, it is MY NAME that is on the credit card that has paid for this site, and I refuse to let Triad be merged with ANY other Weyr. I don't care how big or important they THINK they are!
Looking on other websites, I have noticed that Triad is not the only Pern fandom site that has been usurped by Arlos, nor am I the only person who finds this whole situation objectionable. I'm also not so sure that I was the only person to be caught off guard by these dirty, underhanded tricks. I found the "resistance movement " Emma alluded to on this site:

Do not believe for a moment that Triad will be sucked into this mess. Triad is worth saving. Where in Pern fandom are you going to find the diversity of locations, and so many good writers, all collected in one spot? Where are you going to find the potential for unique storylines, like the female craftban, the rift between the north and south, the tensions between the Hold and Weyr... We cannot, and will not, see Triad become part of a homogeneous collective!
