763THE LAST FANBOY and VANGUARD SILKY VENOM have each provided a home to some of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes' oldest and most dedicated fans. Now, as Vanguard: Saga of Heroes moves into beta and beyond, the staffs of both sites are excited to announce that, effective today, THE LAST FANBOY and VANGUARD SILKY VENOM have merged. Under the Vanguard Silky Venom banner, staff members from both sites are even better poised to deliver the best and most up-to-date content to new and existing Vanguard fans.

As launch time nears, we plan to provide you with the most current coverage of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, using cutting edge features and helpful tools designed to make your gaming experience in Telon the best it can possibly be. To meet the challenges of covering the betas, launch and release, Vanguard Silky Venom and The Last Fanboy will be merging their staff members into dedicated teams for content, news, coding and art.

The new content team will be headed by Kiranth who will be joined by Elrar and Ieranii (the new Fanboy Wiki Editor). Havelock will remain Editor-in-Chief of the news team. He'll be accompanied by his diligent entourage of newsies, Lady Sirse, Labyrrinth and Dorian. Fozzik and Nepenthia will continue to manage their columns as well as assist wherever their talents are needed. Nolaquen will head up the coder area, working with the assistance of Valen and Dillgaar to create the PHP Tour de Force. Pariath will continue his job as the Community Manager, Xyrrus will be the new Sigil Liaison, and Feyshtey will continue to apply his great artistic talent to maintaining the Vanguard Silky Venom image. Oloh, of course, will run the whole show and try to keep this circus in check.207

We've got tons of great projects on the horizon! The Fanboy Wiki will migrate over to Vanguard Silky Venom and the content team is already excited about releasing new "sekret sauce" offerings in the coming weeks. Keep an eye open!

All of us, staffers of Vanguard Silky Venom and of Last Fan Boy alike, plan to work together to make Silky Venom into a cornerstone of the Vanguard community. So, come join us! Help us prove that Vanguard really has the greatest fans.

Darn you guys! I was a member of three fansites and now I'm member of only two. I guess, I'll have to find another site to join up.

Congrats on the merger, I hope the transition is a smooth one, and that all the kinks get worked out.

Just one question: Is Kiranth going to retain the title of Admin of Terror, or is he going to be demoted to a more appropriate title like Moderator of Fuzzy Happiness?

As a part of the merger we felt we would like to bring an international flaire to our site, it was with this in mind and my extensive knowledge of yiddish, that we have dubbed Kiranth... PUTZ

Oi, Gevalt!

I have stepped down as admin of terror - one of the reasons for this merger is that because of the hours I keep due to my job, I have less time to burninate the countryside.

In any case, I am no longer admin of terror. Just Kiranth, God of Chaos, he who lays burnination upon the townspeople.

Congratulations guys!

Silky Venom and last fan boy have been my two favorite sites for Vanguard reports and info since they opened up. Now you have some of the most dedicated Sigil watchers all in one place.

It’s going to be great :D

While they might not live up to the disgusting food scots eat(hey lets put that in a stomach and boil it!...) They are actually pretty good.

Dang! You guys are like the Borg!

Seriously, congrats. Those two sites have always been my favorites. Sorry all the rest of the affiliates, but I hung out in those both back in the day. lol

sooo.. when should I prepare to be assimilated? ;)

Much love,

Grats on the merge guys. So...where is the Wiki? I know you've moved it over here (or, at least, it's dead at the old link). My forum-searching skills have failed to find where you put it.

Can you give me a link so I can fix the link on my official forums .sig?
