xenForo Conference? :D

[ManagerJosh]

Anyone up for starting an annual xenForo Conference gathering, with the opening keynote give by Kier? HAHAHAH

Just floating the idea

Notice "spoofy" and "elves and giant kittens." Not Pentacles, Crucifixes or Tallit.
As in a bit of dressing up fun.

I'm not really sure an XF Cosplay gathering will garner many attendees.

Clearly we're going to have to stock up on defibrillators.

OK yes good idea.

I vote for somewhere near Bristol as it's a smaller airport than Heathrow/ Gatwick so it's a lot quicker to get through, and friendlier. Good transport connections.

Also a celebration rather than a conference.

We wear badges with our forum name on.
A gallery display of front page screenshots of well known XF sites.
Second display of favourite addons.
A booth with photos and text displays each about Kier Mike Ashley and another one for the Mods.
A Memories brainstorming to collect XF stories (recorded)
An XF zen meditation where participants sit barefoot and focus on the glowing letters XF.
Collective letter of thanks compiled to KAM, mods, addon devs.
Major vote for favourite addons with rosettes.
A spoofy but sincere ceremony with druids, witches, elves and giant kittens.
Video link to smaller celebrations elsewhere with specific times for each location to especially link in, for mutual good wishes.
XF mugs and Tshirts.

Personally, I like Kier's original concept for a conference...

now THAT would be fun!

Big Picnic on the grass, barefoot mandatory, photo booth with fun props including life size cut outs of Mike, Kier etc, fun games (forum related), interactive stuff, new ideas tent.


No Witchey poo Druid kitten crap either.

Your courtesy is exquisite my dear.

As is yours in thrusting your beliefs forth on this community.

I would have been equally as courteous to a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Satanist or any one else pushing that their particular activities be included in a fun secular multi cultural company based get together.

Inappropriate is inappropriate

What I said was "A spoofy but sincere ceremony with druids, witches, elves and giant kittens."

Circle ceremonies are used by people of any faith and none.
Circlework is an efficient toolkit for creating a ceremony and can be used by anyone.
If you can accept the concept of north, south, east and west, you can use Circlework.

Circlework did originate among Pagans. Easter eggs derive from Christianity, and older religions before that. Most British children who eat their chocolate either don't know the connection or don't care about it, nor do they need to. Both the chocolate egg and the Circle do their job of providing pleasure and fun without need for theology.

I understand somewhat your jumping to hasty assumptions. Ignorance is not shameful.
I do not understand your rudeness. If you think something is inappropriate then say so straightforwardly within the bounds of courtesy. Then it can be accepted as a valid critique, or as in this case the mistake explained.

Ignorance has nothing to do with it Morgain, who is being insulting now, and condescending, at least I am open in my criticism, in this context pushing agendas regardless of origin is "crap" - we were talking about a Business Conference.

I think you will find the vast majority of this forum is not interested in having anyones beliefs (even if they may have studied them previously) acted out at any potential Business conference that might be arranged in the future.

Having said that, I am not going to get inveigled into your games, so that is the end of my discussion.

Wow... that escalated quickly.

... a kind of fair with booths, tents and games
.... a celebration party....
... business conference ...
.... with or without circle .....
..... dressing up and roleplay ....
.... go out for a meal together ....
..... drinks at a pub.

The views are so varied that I don't see US as agreeing on anything in any realistic timeframe.

Therefore I vote we get the mods to ask KAM what THEY would most like us to create for them.

Roleplay? WTF?

Can I be in leather with whips and chains... and have one of those masks with a zipper over the mouth too?

If so, I will be there.

Kim linked to such a thing already, and it sounded like a wonderful idea. Maybe next year it can actually happen.
