Future of the Forum

This forum will go down in history as probably the only internet forum outside the former Soviet Union nations that ever required people's real names to register.
 
What we need is to take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week with all the decisions of that officer having to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.

But the Lady of the Lake thrust Excalibur into my hands, signifying that I am King by divine authority.

So does Facebook. And, of course, we all know there are no fake facebook accounts.
 
Guess I should have left the 'AB' off? There's more on that site than the other.


I found the URL through the eMail given as contact address on the license page of the Amway Wiki (that prominently and several times shows up on Olowkow's google search), which starts like this:

TribeTech AB grants the public rights to reuse the text in Amway Wiki as long as it -

(1) is attributed to Amway Wiki, with a link back to the original article and this copyright notice

(2) in no way reflects negatively on Amway Wiki, TribeTech AB, or the subject of any article.


So I'm not sure if I'm allowed to reprint that here and say what I think about it. ;)

You just click, yes translate, it's at the top of the page.

It's a pretty standard business registration, there's not a lot there.

Oh, I've been through the translation pretty closely. Even noted that the business has 1 employee and negative income. Net assets of less than $10,000, (converted from TKR).

Also, The business called "TribeTech AB" is in the business of "body care", it seems.

The Linkedin page for icerat (David Steadson) shows the TribeTech AB site to be: http://www.fittogether.nu/
The site if confusing, but it looks like the total membership is 8.

This is just one of the projects that are listed on the site provided by a couple of posters up thread.

Has anyone asked Randi if he would mind if the new forum keeps his namesake: JREF Forum? It could have a banner stating in clear boilerplate language his disavowing any connection with the JREF.org.

I'd feel much more sanguine about all of these changes if Sharon's "official word" took the form of quotes attributable to someone in charge. But if the main admins who have been here for so long are buying into this plan, that's good enough for me.



Who is JREF these days?

You mean James Randi Educational Forum?

:D

:D

Sure, why not? A clear banner with a winky emoticon with a white beard stating "Not to be confused with the James Randi Educational Foundation which in no way supports this site" would be displayed prominently.
 
The site is pretty thin on substance and full of clip art. It leaves me feeling .. unsettled.

Personally, I feel better this way. The Internet is full of insignificant, half-assed "business" websites that don't mean much. If the host of the forum wants to dabble inconsequentially in such things, they're welcome to do so. Everyone needs a hobby. You don't think James Randi spends all his time managing the forum, do you?

I'd be a lot more worried if the forum was being hosted by a thriving business that had a sound model and an owner who insisted that everything in his portfolio find a place in that model.

Even if the host wanted to find a place in his model for the forum, based on that website, nothing much would come of it, and the forum would probably muddle along same as before.
