In my opinion & it's only my opinion, having two similar forums shouldn't be too much of a problem provided that there is a way to advertise "YouGamers" to a new userbase whom haven't been familiar with Madonion / Futuremark before.

So, somehow you (Futuremark) need to get the word out via some different channels, i.e not through the 3DMark credits but perhaps by running some magazine adverts or other independant internet based advertising.

Once there is a strong userbase at "YouGamers" perhaps 6 months ~ 1 year, then and only then could you perhaps consider slowly migrating the "Futuremark" forum into a 3DMark / PCMark / Benchmarking based forum with no gaming sections.

The question though that entered my mind earlier was to do with bans, and if you don't want to answer it in public then of course you're welcome to PM me.

If users are banned here (FM) would such a ban carry across to YG?

(I'd assume that you've discussed this as a team before everything went live beforehand.)
