In the next few days, an initiative to contact members of the Knowledge Forum who have posted at least one message will begin.
The mechanism planned is the private email feature, to avoid cluttering the public message board with administrative traffic.
My hope is that members who are interested in building the Forum will activate all the settings that are defaulted to OFF, as will be explained in the contact message.
The result of the default settings is that no one is notified of anything that happens in the forum. This is unfortunate, but we can overcome this software design feature by individually turning ON the features that are currently OFF.
However, just turning ON the forum features is NOT sufficient. In order for this (or any) forum to succeed, the members much derive benefits from investing time and thought.
The nature of those benefits will vary with each person, but the overall mission of the forum (presumably) has something to do with helping the human race to survive a perilous moment in our history, AND to prepare in a meaningful way for disaster. Preparation for disaster should be (in my opinion) part of the mental portfolio of every citizen. The difference with THIS forum is the unusual positive tone provided by its sponsor.
Each member called to this enterprise will have the opportunity to take CONCRETE action over a period of time to help to improve everyone's situation.
