Re: Blank User Profile location

Is it to much to ask that something get put into the location form where the poster resides.

It sure would make it easier to form groups to maybe ever skype a conversation or two with some one that is local to one another in such attempts.

Speaking of which I am from NH, USA.

From a small hick town, unemployed and still trying to make a difference.

I want space to become a household word to talk about and not to ignore.

To dream the dream of going to space someday for real.

Re: Blank User Profile location

So why do I make this request, to find out if you the visiter to Newmars forum has any interest in joining me in an effort to create a MarsDrive Branch office in the state of NH. This may once enough join the efforts of volunteering could lead to a real business.

I will send more details of what I have in mind if you think you are interested.

These are some of the other locations that are on for MarsDrive list:
Calgary, Canada
Kansas City, Mo
Poughkeepsie, NY

We have existing offices in
Austin, TX
Melbourne, AUSTRAILIA

Re: Blank User Profile location

The forum rules explicitly state that new users should fill out their profile, however, I have yet to have someone actually, uh, do it. And I know for a fact you can do it before being activated (by default all new users are not activated and can't post, but they can get PMs and can read the forums and log in and such).

I looked at hacking the php script that does registration but it really doesn't have the facilities to enforce this rule, unfortunately. I don't know what to do about it, I really don't. I should look in to it again, soon.

All the best on your venture SpaceNut.
