Very interesting. Some thoughts and speculations.

To really accomplish the franchise model they will need to pop up a lot of kh's in the next few years for a real brand impact. Watch for 1000 halls being constructed or remodeled in the next 3 years. I would venture to say that they will try to first quickly consolidate many halls and then sell the old ones off to fund the Mc model.

if it is a storefront design the halls will likely be situated in a highly trafficked commercial area. This will require many halls in the old residential areas to be sold off. I'd bet that having a storefront presence in a highly trafficked area will result in more vandalism incidents.

Finally, this new arrangement is going to alienate many publishers and elders who took much pride in participating in their rbc projects. I knew of many pioneers who got virtually all of their time through rbc projects. They don't have the stomach for door to door so watch for a decrease in the regular pioneer ranks.

Welcome from another ex elder! I had a similar choice to make and agree, leaving the org and refusing to accept lies is the first step to a real life.

Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
