KYC - no way that I would do it here.
That would be another knock-down for the forum. Couple that with banning signature campaigns and removing that altcoin boards, and we can start thinking about which color the Bitcointalk coffin should be.
theymos' view on this is clear:
I'll get right on that, just as soon as hell freezes over.
Another thing which wasn't mentioned is change of ownership. If new owners of Bitcointalk would be anti-Bitcoin and turn this forum into something like Bitcoin.com, there wouldn't be any reason for me to stay here.
I didn't think about that and it's a very good point. Would it make sense adding that to the poll at this stage, though? The number of available options keeps increasing.
I think that theymos already has a plan in case something happened to him or he just became tired of the forum. I really don't see it being auctioned off to the highest bidder. It will certainly get "inherited" by someone with a similar mindset.
