AAm and AF have different qualities because of their rules, policies and methods of moderating discussions. This in turn, attracts different types of members to each respective site. Some members function well in both environments and some don't.

Fusing the sites together would require one site to take on the culture, style and qualities of the other, which means, in effect, you would be losing one site and gaining nothing. You would get the same result by simply closing one site. Members would just disappear or switch to the site that is left.

I would argue that both sites are simply one click away if one wants to check out both of them. Having 2 different sites serves a broader range of users.
