That comes with relocation benefits, right? You'll move me and my family to somewhere in Canada and get us out of here? No? Damn.

I concur with the opinion that Canada is likely to be a better option for reasons of greater depth of continuity and pool of resources, etc.

Don't promise things that is not within man's power to give.

Oh yeah, our copyright is very restrictive. Fair use isn't really a thing. That said, it's not particularly enforced unless it's egregious.
That said, our duration is somewhat shorter. For instance, Lord of the Rings (Tolkien's written text) is no longer in copyright as of this year.

If you're planning on putting it on legal documents uh has anyone done a business name search in the eventual jurisdiction? Like for example Post Arcade is a trade name used by the Financial Post in Canada for gaming journalism. Why they have such a thing is beyond me, but they do
But the name chosen will be the the actual displayed name on the forums, though.
Well Canada is a bonkers assortment of territories and provinces bound together by poutine. Hence my slight worry.
It seems not.

* Has monetary cost
* Has legal ramifications
* Is difficult to reverse
I'm sure we'll have more info soon.
My resume is that I have been the president of a college gaming club, and then in the real world have both created, transferred control of, been vice president and president of, and dissolved 501c3 organizations (athletics booster clubs - the only thing more difficult to deal with than an HOA). Though I'm probably only real help if it's decided to incorporate in the US.
Will that icon also be required to change? What in PA is it even supposed to be?
It's a wombat.

This is the kind of hard hitting question I like.
I was actually involved in this! The prior pixel art wombat was asymmetrical for years and it bugged me enough to tweak it, which got reported upward to PA, who had their graphic designer make a whole new favicon
By my calculations, that makes it ours to take with us, right?
Only if it opts in.

Ooh bother, it's one of those ammendment documents all goverments love so much.
Does Australia provide a complete up to date version of their online safety act of 2021?
Or am I going to have to track down and stitch 15 amandments together and "insert NOT before SHALL on line 4, paragraph B"?
They will do, once it's passed.
This was submitted to the lower house today, but it's expected to become law by the end of the year
Aah, thanks, that makes all the "The minister will..." parts clearer.
So, this might impact our sign-up process.
Hopefully, Xenforo will automatically take care of it for us, but it's something to keep an eye on.
But just in case:
and
any idea how reasonableness is defined? I know in some countries a button that says "I'm over 18, show me tits" is reasonable, while the UK is working on a government run database of "legal-aged citizens who are allowed to watch porn"
Somewhere in between is asking for a credit-card number, in the belief that if you can open a Visa account, you're not a minor.
Especially considering that any verification data appears to need to be deleted after verification.
The Australian government has currently awarded tender to some UK company to ascertain people's ages with .. biometrics and keyboard behavior I guess?
Like from what I've heard of it, a checkbox saying "I am over 16" sounds more rigorous.
Anyway the full, currently in force, Social Media Act is here:
https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2021A00076/latest/text
https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/media/publications/tender-awarded-age-assurance-trial
but it does seem that under Australian definitions we would fall under it:
(link)
So... euhmm, guess we'll have to wait and see what the actual law will be?
Does.... does Australian law codify "Now say you're sorry"? I can't determine if this is genius, or if the Simpsons boot episode was less satire and more of a "say what you see"
Google is now a social media site because of Google Reviews
God I hate tech legislation
So, you know.
We'll have to take that into account, I'm pretty sure we have a few Aussies, and I don't want to close anything off for them. Besides, having more sounds fun.
If we don't follow their rules, we can't have their forumers, and I want their forumers, so it's an easy calculation.
There's just not something actionable quite yet. And with any luck, XenForo will solve it.
But if not, we'll do it.
Have a little upside down checkbox with "If you can read this, you're from Australia and need to promise us you're 16+"
