LiNK’s human rights crisis video

North Korean watchers may know about this video, but for those that do not know about LiNK, this group does not have a lot of resources, but work very hard for the cause of North Koreans who want freedom and the fight for human rights. This should not be forgotten in the midst of all the talks, fluff and deals. While it sounds nice and has a feel good factor to it, people in North Korea are still in crisis. The need for freedom, food, and the end of the Kim regime should be a goal.

With all the smiles, clinking glasses, and showcase pictures, the reality is, there are still gulags. There are still repressive policies. Kim Jong Il is still in power. As long as Kim is still in power, the crisis will continue. Watch the video if you have not seen it, and if you have friends, please pass the video along.

I added BBPress for further disussions, and registrations are open

Update: Looks like the comments already made cannot be exported to vBulletin unless I write something to do it. That also means the stats are going to be odd when exporting. There are a lot of potential problems with this setup, so looks like the idea is going to be scrapped, and things will remain the same.

I’ll place the forums back on partisanrhetoric.com and leaving it there. Sorry for the problems, because I thought this would be a nice idea to discuss things a little further. The forums integration should be disabled completely by tomorrow afternoon if not sooner.

Update 2: Forums are deactivated. Things are back to where they were.

Update 3: I added BBPress, and it seems to work a LOT better. I opened registration for readers, but registration is not required for comments on the blog. This is only of you wish to comment on the forums, make threads, or be part of this site. I look forward to any and all to register so we can learn more and discuss the issues a little further. Thanks!

Old post: The process is pretty tedious and murky, and do not know what is compatible or not in the way of plugins and such. The question remains, should readers wanting to comment have to register? So far it does not seem necessary unless I want to use vBulletin for the comments. That is of course, I allow that particular forum to use anonymous posting which is another possibility. I still have to ask questions of the author of this plugin to get a better understanding on how this works, and in the meantime, things will appear normal and posts/comments will not redirect you to vBulletin just yet.

Also, I would like to get readers’ feedback if this is a good idea or not, or if readers that do comment here would want to register to comment.

Thank you for your patience, and this is one of the reasons why regular, in depth postings have been sparse the last few days.
