I think the only reason why people did is because we were told that we have 1 week to move and all of the game resources (patches, Info) threads were deleted.
Pretty much how I saw it.
Never the less, I will still be using both forums. Luckily TW is blessed with a group of very active moderators who will keep an eye on the NW forums as well as the rest of the forum.
Aye same here moogs, when you have a twisting of the arm there is not much you can do ... 2 options really "Do and keep it or don't and lose it"
Lust will cover the TW NW boards.
And Lust is a very good admin, I'm also pretty sure if there were enough people still using Taleworlds (Which there probably will be as its first contact for new players seen as the first thing they see is "Taleworlds", I doubt FSE will be getting much of a look into new players coming in apart from their slim amount of Money) so admins from FSE will more than likely be popping on anyway.
It would be more beneifical to keep an eye on both forums now that the options have opened up, creating floodgates and opening dosn't mean all the water ends up on one side ... it evens out.
