Re: Recruiting expertise for NewMars Forum topics:

NewMarsMember * gmail.com portal is open for business.

There was/were 0 incoming traffic item(s) at the Portal this morning. No outgoing message(s) was/were sent.

Occasionally vendors send updates on software or new features on offer.  That was NOT the case today.

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

Recordings of the 25th Anniversary Conference are now available on YouTube.

We are also 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.

Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures to apply for membership.  Mention specific assistance you wish to provide.

We have 18,370 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members.

A quality assurance run is finished, to find any posts not accessible upon lookup.

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.

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 world.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Re: Recruiting expertise for NewMars Forum topics:

For All....

Member photon reported a scenario that may have occurred to other members:

I'm back; I morphed into a photon from a neutrino. I couldn't remember my password and I changed my internet provider so I had to assume another name.

The new support mechanism should provide a solution for anyone who would like to return to post in the forum, who has the same issues.

Regardless of changing your email provider (and forgetting the password) the solution is to follow the procedure in the Recruiting topic.

We've not had this come up before, but I'm confident that SpaceNut can find a solution.

From a technical point of view, I am confident SpaceNut can change the email provider information in your member record.

What is less clear is how SpaceNut might confirm that the person making the request is the same as the one we have on file, but SpaceNut has dealt with more difficult problems than that.

I see that the site is the same as our home page NewMars.com content by "Proudly powered by WordPress" started June 14, 2021 with first active comment on 15th July 2021 Photon Bytes foundation day!

https://photonbytes.com/space-plane-net/

Photon Bytes is currently involved in a yet to be NGO not for profit spacecraft design team http://space-plane.net run by Professor Axel Rohde PhD(CFD-Computational Fluid Dynamics Specialist), Dr. Yongho Lee (Rocket Propulsion Specialist), Mihai Pruna(CAE-Computer Aided Engineer), Phillip Rakhou(CFO-Chief Financial Officer) and my self David Ong(Geo-Spatial Runge Kutta simulator specialist).

Seems like a slow start to blog events and has learned the wordpress software.

The php is quite a bit different but is a worthy candidate.

I see that David Ong is a society member and is from Austrialia which has chapters..

http://marssociety.org.au/

I see there is quite a few https://marssociety.org.au/branches

I see James create the societies site in 2016 and here is the https://www.facebook.com/Mars-Society-A … 160177980/

This is the stomping ground of MarsDrive of the past CEO Frank Strafford that just seems to be a facebook status currently.

Re: Recruiting expertise for NewMars Forum topics:

For SpaceNut and all ...

We have received an impressive example of the work of David Ong, and I am planning to post it shortly, if I can figure out how.

here is a copy of my reply today:

Hi Director Ong,

First, the good news!  SpaceNut is senior Administrator, and he has given approval for your admission to the forum.

Now the bad news ... I am responsible for actual admission, and I am NOT convinced you are a good fit.

I see no signs you have made any effort whatsoever to learn the 20+ year history of this forum, or to learn anything about the current members, or to learn which former members might have distinguished careers in academia or industry.

On the positive side, I see evidence you are able to bring impressive communications skills to the forum, including the work you have done in contemplating a deep depression in the Martian landscape.

On the less attractive side, I think I see evidence you would tend to bulldoze others aside as you advocate for your ideas.

The admission procedure is very simple.

Over 20+ years hackers created 18370+ accounts.  After I joined, SpaceNut decided to close off the spammers, so he gave me the assignment of cleaning up after them.

I have completed many hours of processing to clean up the forum, and in the process my software has visited every post in the forum.  All 18370 spammer id's are now ready for new desirable members.

All I have to do is to rename one of those available ID's to the name you desire, set the email address to the email you prefer, and you are able to complete the process by attempting to log in, receiving invalid password message, and requesting a new temporary password at your email address.  The system works reliably, so you will receive an email with a temporary password, which you would change immediately after gaining access to the account profile.

However .... and this is the flip side.... I have admitted five individuals who seemed to be a good fit for the forum, and not one of them has continued past the opening post or two.

I would like to invite you to take a serious look at the forum, to see if you think you are a good fit.

I would like you to acquaint yourself with the current members.  Each has strengths and weaknesses.
Some are agreeable to work with and some have rough edges.

I'm looking for folks who are in this project for the long run, and who are able to blend into the existing community.

Dear Director Ong,
Thank you for your inquiry. 
We are indeed affiliated with Mars Society. We were created more than 20 years ago, and some of our earliest members were from Australia!
I am the most junior member of the Admin team.
Mars Society Executive Director James Burke is the webmaster.
Mr Burke has provided a professional Zoom account to our forum in the past, and if there is a need I am confident he would do so again.
***
Your project sounds perfect for the forum, and I am enthusiastic about your application.
I will post your inquiry in the Recruiting topic.  Please look for it there, along with any comments by the other Admins.
***
Please note the postings of GW Johnson. Dr Johnson created presentations on a variety of space exploration topics, and these are all available for review by anyone with access to the Internet.  In particular, I would invite your evaluation of Dr. Johnson's space tug proposal. This is a way for an entrepreneur on Earth to increase the throw weight of space craft using a cleverly designed orbit. If you have a friend/acquaintance who is thinking about starting a space launch business, the space tug variant has much greater growth potential.
***
If you have not studied the archive of the forum, please consider at least looking the series Dr. Johnson posted about EducationDoneRight.  Just put that into the search window, with author gw johnson.
***
I'm off to post your inquiry.

We are also 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.

We are also 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.

Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures to apply for membership.  Mention specific assistance you wish to provide.

We have 18,370 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members.

A quality assurance run is finished, to find any posts not accessible upon lookup.
Current stopping point is 204000 - the next scan will be run at 205000
Current active post is 204898

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.

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 world.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Re: Recruiting expertise for NewMars Forum topics:

An invitation to join the forum was extended to Dr ? Mr ? Ong ....

It will take at least a day to complete the procedure...

The argument made by Calliban was persuasive.

This is our sixth attempt to bring in a new member.

I am hoping all currently active members will take a moment to extend a welcome.
