Input Requested Terms and conditions for the International Skeptics Forum

AND the minute the new owners publish it they breach copyright. "They won't be published anywhere else than forum itself" is nonsense.

PUBLICATION ON A FORUM BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE JREF IS A BREACH OF COPYRIGHT. PUBLICATION ON THE FORUM ITSELF IS A BREACH OF COPYRIGHT.

You can't mark people as "guests" or "unregistered" to something they never joined, and have never visited and which is breaching their copyright by re-publishing content without any right to do so. You can't mark them as anything at all.

WHO EXACTLY ARE THE NEW OWNERS? Not some corporation name, who is actually doing this?

*sigh*

Your questions have been answered numerous times; people who are lawyers with significant understanding of this entire thing have chimed in; yet you keep making the same claims.

Essentially, you don't understand it...so it must be wrong. I'm sorry, but your lack of comprehension doesn't constitute a crisis on the part of the forum. No copyright is being breached. If you disagree, rather than spouting the same ignorant nonsense over and over, consult an actual copyright lawyer. They'll just repeat what everyone here has already told you.

You own the copyright, hopefully you know your own name. You granted license to the JREF. It's a corporation, so by insisting the answer can't be a corporation name you are guaranteeing the question can't be answered to your satisfaction.

We are going round in circles so all I can say is a sincere thanks for your input and leave it at that.
 
out of the loop

I'm sure I've missed this somewhere, but who exactly now owns the forum?

This is almost getting funny. Kinda like "Who's on first".
Lolly has made a very good point that JREF and the new whomevers are two completely different entities.
The JREF is a not for profit organization with very clearly stated goals and motivations.
The other is anybody's best guess.

How do I or anyone else know that any profits made from a completely new forum my post are now part of if I agree to the T&C or not doesn't go into the creation or upkeep of a nazi propaganda forum that I would never want any part in?

I agreed to the T&C of the JREF because I agreed with their overall mission and because I trusted James Randi.

What does that have to do with something or someone called tech tribe?

I find it rather odd that statements of how unimportant Lollys questions are are backed up with a multitude of post explaining in detail how unimportant they are.

Reminds me of cockroaches scattering when the lights come on.

There will be lawsuits.

Really? That will be a collossal waste of money.

Your motivation for agreeing to the T&C of the JREF is really irrelevant. The fact is you agreed to it and under the T&C JREF can re-publish which is what it is going to do.

If you don't like the new organization, don't join when things move over.

And the joke about profits made from the new forum is a good one.

There are people discussing novel and play ideas, posting original art works and music -- do they have to worry about this wording? Especially the bolded part?

Personally, I'm more than happy to give icerat the benefit of the doubt. I'm a little leery about "any third party it designates," or transfers the rights to. Is this boilerplate stuff? I'm not much for legalease.

Assuage me, baby!
 
What reason would they have for worrying about that that wouldn't also be a worry just for posting in public?
