Hello, I am a co-founder of Project Blue, which is a fairly new organization. The main goal behind Project Blue is to ensure the continued existence and advancement of humankind through technological means. Because this goal is such a large and general goal there are a wide variety of areas and issues that Project Blue undertakes and works on.

If you are interested in learning more visit http://www.rublu.org/forum/index.php

We are open to any individuals to have a general interest in advancing technology, professional or amature.

I don't get it, it's a forum, what's wrong with this one?

As far as I am concerned... this is SPAM for another forum.

I am the other founder and Project Blue is not just a forum, the forum is just a medium of communication to pass around ideas, theories, and to talk and plan projects on and hopefully soon, off the web, we are working on. PB is new so we do not have that much "content" or running projects set up yet, so if you have an idea or theory that you would like to be made or published, please post it on the forum as we are always looking for a good project to get behind, also rublu.org, is the actual main site for project BLUE,

...if you have an idea or theory that you would like to be made or published, please post it on the forum as we are always looking for a good project to get behind, also rublu.org, is the actual main site for project BLUE,In what way would you plan to "get behind" projects, other than discuss them as can be done here?

I did briefly go to your site (one of the two "guests" there at the time) but did not join because, as you state, the content is very small and did not seem worth the trouble. - Only forum with any activity was political with 16 posts. Perhaps you should look arround here and identify some "potential projects" and then PM their authors asking for permission to reproduce them as I am not understanding what you plan as different.

From time to time other people have started forums and invited us to them. (BTW I don't see anything wrong with that.) But they don't seem to be very successful. This is a pretty good site. Whatever you're trying to do, I suggest you take the advice you've been given and start here. Maybe if you get enough interest you can spin off to another website.

This one has a lot of momentum going for it. That's not easy to duplicate.

I havent heard of sciforums.com before I saw the linkback in awstats, I havent had time to look through the posts yet but yall definently have quantity here and I doubt I could mimic yalls momentum as this is the second large science forum I know of and both are much older and larger than the PB forum but luckily Im not trying to mimic a science forum, but start a science/technological organization.

BillyT: looking through the forum for possible projects is a good idea, and the way we would get behind a project would of course vary per project but a few ways we could right now is by providing support,funding and hosting.

...BillyT: looking through the forum for possible projects is a good idea...It is a little "self-serving" but take a look at my posts in thread "How DUMB can US voters be?" where I note that Brazil will need to import 80% of its wheat this year and the Brazilian climate is too warm for efficient wheat production, but great for sugar cane. In several other threads I have noted that ethanol from tropical sugar cane yields about 8 times more energy than the fossil energy required to grow, collect and convert it into alcohol. This is in contrast to ethanol produced from Iowa corn, where some still claim the net energy gain is negative, but I think it can be as high as 1.3 times the fossil energy input.

I also like to point out that in addition to the mutual benefit of a wheat for fuel trade between US and Brazil, Brazil has more than 30 years experience with driving cars on pure alcohol (even has locally produced small planes flying on alcohol, mainly "crop dusters") and now 3 of every 4 cars sold* are of the "flex fuel" type that can use any mix of gas and alcohol. (As currently the price is 1.04R$/L for alcohol and 2.34R$/L for gasoline you only need one guess what I am using in mine.)

That posts is in the "How DUMB...." thread as the corn is subsidized and then the alcohol produced from it is too, but it still costs the same as gasoline in US, or a little more. Thus, US taxpayer pays higher taxes for the privilege of paying more for the fuel his car uses. The importation of alcohol from tropical lands is prevented by system of quotas and high tariffs, but most voters are kept ignorant of this. Perhaps you forum might educate them and teach a little of what Adam Smith realized many years ago on the merits of each country doing what it can do well and then trading. As it is now in the US, I am just thankful, the Cargill family has not decided to grow coffee in green houses (with even more US taxpayer support to make that economically competitive too.) Why the taxpayers transfer billions to the Cargill family (and to ADM etc.) each year I cannot understand. Cargill is the largest family owned business in US if not the world. - There are not even any shareholders to pay dividends to!

Why is the tax payer giving his scare dollars to multi-billionaires and making it more expensive for him to drive his car? Answer is in the title of my thread "How DUMB..." (and in fact they make large campaign contributions.)

*A higher percentage if one does not count the big, imported, gas only cars some rich people buy.

I don't get it, are you guys professionals in some field and looking to market your skills to jobs that are beneficial to the advancement of humankind? That's the idea I get when I think about "getting behind a project".
