The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.
The images server at http://NewMars.com/phpBB3 is offline. The new server supports direct display of images.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.
The images server at http://NewMars.com/phpBB3 is offline. The new server supports direct display of images.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

It is good to see a modest level of traffic on this email address. It is here primarily to serve our members, and to provide a contact method for folks who are not members.
Since we have little member traffic, the automated email provides some entertainment.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

NewMarsMember@gmail.com portal is open for business.
We are in Year 39 at Mars. NewMars has completed tracking of three full Martian years.
Development of a Business Calendar for Mars is under way.
We had TWO new message(s) this morning. NO email(s) were sent.
Both messages were from LinkedIn ... One was the familiar sample of member posts.
For existing registered members who have lost your password ... If you remember the email address you used to register, you can request a recovery email at that address. If you no longer have the email available (as could happen over 20+ years) just write to NewMarsMember@gmail.com email address. Your request will be forwarded to SpaceNut, who has the tools available to assist as needed.
The images server at http://new-mars.org/phpBB3 is working.

Update: If a member of ** this ** forum applies for an account on the Image Server, please let us (Admins) know, so we can look for your User ID in the waiting room.
The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.
The images server at http://NewMars.com/phpBB3 is offline. The new server supports direct display of images.

Recordings of the 25th Anniversary Mars Society Conference are now available on YouTube.
We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

For all ... we really ** are ** looking for members who want to make a difference by helping others with projects, or providing leadership on new projects. We have a ready supply of folks who can and will make comments and offer suggestions. We don't need more folks in that specialty. We ** do ** need folks who can and ** will ** help project leaders already trying to achieve something in the real universe, or who have a vision of life on Mars they'd like to pursue.
