>>72653655IMO it's something we'll have to think about if it ever becomes an issue, which it hopefully won't. However, I cannot entirely share your optimism for two main reasons.
The first one is that this situation has only to my knowledge happened once on this board, because the examples you speak of are either generals whose VTubers left the company without rebranding and without any embargo on interacting with members (like tsunX) or companies that essentially folded all at once so the thread went from "company general" to "indie group general" in no time flat (like ppg+ in part and VReX and late tsunX in total). The only general that fits our case is actually /999/+/voms/; a "main" thread that was already barely alive and basically died when one talent graduated and in order to survive merged with the general of its reincarnation -- I suppose our hypothetical equivalent would be /mint/+/lazu/.
The second one is that what happened with /999/+/voms/ is highly unlikely to occur here. In their case they had a company that was well-respected if irrelevant merge with a thread that was mostly composed of new fans, who largely either had no opinion on VOMS or considered it positively. I don't think I need to tell you that new Mint fans won't be as kind to her former coworkers, so it will be less like mixing water and oil and more like mixing water and potassium.
