i could give you an honest opinion on the matter if i knew approximately how much time and $ is spent on the site, as i havn't got a clue.  if u can and are willing to simply share the same info and all on the GPN website forum, and it saves u a shit ton of time and money...and by default joins the 2 forces into one and directs all the fan activity to one place-albeit with a different layout...if u are sharing all the same information-maybe that is a good way to go with it.  save yourself all the energy but still get the news out?  the forum has some down time here and there (as does TIS) so that might round things out a bit.  u coming to the beacon?
