I'm not an FC leader or officer anymore, so I wasn't going to throw my pennies in the bucket, but now that it's just a blahblah thread, here's what I think: What this guy just said, though I will repeat it with less strength and more waffle.
I'm not sure what there is to communicate about that would benefit from instant feedback rather than a thought-out thread of forum posts, especially since everyone who's going to be communicating is from the forum?
That being said, if the people who signed up for it do want the event, then the more power to them! It just... holds little interest for me to the point of a "Why?" eyebrow raise.
If it's going to be streamed, closed doors aren't really an issue. I assume the doors are only closed in an attempt to limit the sheer number of participants.
However, if this were an IC free company summit, I think that would be hilariously awesome. Still not an officer myself, so would not apply, but there's room for a lot of interesting there. There'd be some companies who would never go to such a thing based on their IC nature, but if there are enough of them that would, maybe they could be a shadow government, or at least think of themselves as such. A wildly entertaining shadow government, buahaha! Or it could go up in drama flames. Who knows.
My real point was that as an outsider, I'm not sure what the benefit is of cramming everyone into a room to talk, rather than letting them wander in and out of various forum threads. But then, I'm not sure what the benefit is of that in real life, either, because I'm an antisocial wallflower, so it could just be a personality thing.
