 :I second Dante's proposal. I think it will do the wiki good to get some folks familiar with the lore to join us. It would also benefit them to get more notoriety from a well-known source like the wiki.

+==The Proposal==
+Hey there!
+Destinypedia is interested in a partnership with www.ishtar-collective.net. While our activity is low, the admins -- myself and Arcmind, plus a few others including the developer Porplemontage -- being more or less the only active contributors here, we have been steadily expanding during Destiny's runtime. We've used your website to cite sources and to occasionally create missing articles where content is public and shared.
+We can feature your website and forum on ours, as we are a generally reputable site, and you can do the same. We've already cited from your website multiple times, and the forums here are more active than our own. We could mutually benefit as Destinypedia will gain potentially more active users and we can lend our skills to better the growing community here.
+What say you? --{{User:Dante the Ghost/Sig}} or GhostDante

+Hi!
+This is certainly a surprise!
+Please give us a little time to discuss this and think about it.
+Thanks,
+-baxter. (Founder)

+Sure, take as much time as you need. If you guys want to come and check out Destinypedia before you decide, you are more than welcome to do so! --Arcmind
+'''space'''
+Of course, take as much time as you need! --GhostDante
+'''space'''
+Hi just checking in, have you guys reached a decision? --Arcmind
+'''space'''
+Hey, I'm sorry I've not replied sooner. We have been discussing it and we are still unsure... I really love Destinypedia and all the great work that you've done, but we have been very independent for a long time, so it's taking some consideration!
+On top of that, I am travelling from Ireland to Australia tomorrow for work, so I'm not as focussed on the Ishtar Collective as I usually am... I'm really sorry, I hope you understand!
+--Baxter
+'''space'''
+No worries I understand now. However we do not mean to merge sites, the Collective would still remain as independent as ever, its just that both sites would mention and refer visitors to the other, while formally recognizing a friendship. Destinypedia will include a link to the Ishtar Collective on its navigational page as well as mentioning them whenever a source is sited from it and would also maintain an option to set up an account with the collective from Destinypedia's own sign up form. In return, the Collective would mention Destinypedia and include links to it as well. This form of partnership would allow the Collective to gain more notability through an already mainstream website while also providing members of the Collective an opportunity to also set up an account on Destinypedia. But there is no pressure for a decision, I just wanted to stop in to make sure we did not cause any confusion. In the meantime, have a nice trip! --Arcmind
