New Mars Forums

NewMarsMember@gmail.com portal is open for business.

There was/were NO incoming traffic item(s) at the Portal this morning. NO email(s) was/were sent.

We have invited a prospective member to consider our forum for publication of a presentation recently given at the National Space Society chapter meeting in Houston, Texas.  We have heard back from the presenter, and will report if anything happens.

To apply for membership, please write newmarsmember@gmail.com

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 Azure VM is NOT running. It is stopped pending trouble analysis. Something is causing excessive CPU usage.
Trouble shooting is on the agenda for today. We have had no issues with this site for many months, since a swap file was installed.

The main NewMars forum has been updated from 2012 to 2024 standards. It was activated live on Sunday 2024/12/01.

NewMars.com is back online after an unscheduled outage for extended maintenance.

The new, updated system is installed and running.

An Email Outreach campaign to former NewMars members is on hold. One member will be reviewed per day, for 3+ years.

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.

We received correspondence from the person who gave a talk on habitats for the North Houston Chapter of NSS last Saturday the 12th.

The main benefit of the contact is that the email address is confirmed as working.  I transcribed it from a slide in the presentation, so it is good to know the text I typed was correct.

I've invited the presenter to consider using our site as a site for the presentation, similar to what GW Johnson has done with some of his presentations.

The potential advantage of using our site as a location for the presentation is that it will remain in place (thanks to the generosity of the Mars Society) for some time.  It is easy to find a particular post or an entire topic, by entering a URL into a browser.

NewMarsMember@gmail.com portal is open for business.

There was/were ONE incoming traffic item(s) at the Portal this morning. ONE email(s) was/were sent.

We received an inquiry about membership. Please see the report in the post before this one.

To apply for membership, please write newmarsmember@gmail.com

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 Azure VM is running well. It responded quickly this morning. We are now storing images in the phpBB3 Test Site.

The main NewMars forum has been updated from 2012 to 2024 standards. It was activated live on Sunday 2024/12/01.
The first post in this forum is dated 2001-09-04.  Author was John Creighton from Nova Scotia.

A test phpBB3 site is available for NewMars Admins and members to evaluate. Use http://40.75.112.55/phpBB3/index.php

NewMars.com is back online after an unscheduled outage for extended maintenance.

The new, updated system is installed and running.

An Email Outreach campaign to former NewMars members is on hold. One member will be reviewed per day, for 3+ years.

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.
