Possibility to collapse/combine Communities?

Fragmentation is a bit of a problem with some communities, where user-bases and content can end up spread across multiple small communities, which both limits engagement and interaction. For a platform as young as Imzy, I find that to be one of the biggest obstacles.

So I'd like to propose a bit of functionality to potentially make it better.

This goes beyond just collapsing and combining communities, but that's where the idea stems from.

It's likely a truckload of work to pull off but the idea is simple: The capability to collapse 2 different communities, with consent from the leaders of both, into a single community.

What would actually be combined vs need recreated is open for discussion but here's what I'd like to see:
Combined
Leaders
Users (with an opt in the next time they visit, as their consent is important)
Existing posts (without tags?) Tags? Plugins

Recreated
Rules
Page Themes & Artwork
Tags?
etc.

Of course, to make it all work, the devs would have to be on board, and I don't know if they are, and they certainly aren't obligated to be. But it's something I'd like to suggest as a feature request.

Alternately, as a bit of low-hanging fruit, the capability to turn a community into a pointer directly to another community (check out /Switch vs /NintendoSwitch, ideally one would simply redirect to the other). Of course, that approach would likely require a limit on how many pointers could exist to a single community and how many can be created by a single user to prevent sub-Imzy squatting. The functionality to request a community that's being used as a pointer to turn it into an actual community would be ideal as well (what if there are actual switch enthusiasts out there who want a community to discuss light switches, and multi-phase switches, etc.?).

Anyway, bit of a ramble based on a discussion I had with a community member this morning.
