Where did all the Open Minds Forum members go?

Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:29 pm by Admin

With Open Minds Forum restored now for almost half a year at it's new location with forumotion.com we can now turn to look at reaching out to OMF's original members who have not yet returned home. OMF's original membership was over 6,000 members strong, prior to the proboards suspension, according to the rolls of the time. We can probably safely assume that some of those accounts were unidentified socks. If we were to assume a reasonable guess of maybe as many as 30% possible sock accounts then that would leave potentially somewhere between 4800 to 4900 possible real members to locate. That is still a substantial number of people.

Who were all these people? Some were average individuals with common interests in ufology, exopolitics, globalism, corruption, earthchanges, science and technology, and a variety of other interests. Some just enjoyed being part of a vibrant and unusually interesting community. Others were representative of various insider groups participating in observation and outreach projects, while still others were bonafide intelligence community personnel. All with stake in the hunt for truth in one fashion or another. Some in support of truth, and communication. Others seeking real disclosure and forms of proof. And others highly skeptical of anything or limited subjects. The smallest division of membership being wholly anti-disclosure oriented.

So where did these members vanish to? They had many options. There are almost innumerable other forums out there on the topics of UFO's or Exopolitics, the Unexplained, and Conspiracy Theory. Did they disappear into the world-wide network of forum inhabitants? Did some go find new homes on chatrooms or individual blogs? Did they participate in ufo conventions or other public events and gatherings? How about those who represented groups in special access? Or IC and military observers? Those with academic affiliations? Where did they all go and what would be the best way to reach out and extend an invitation to return?

And what constitutes a situation deserving of their time and participation? Is the archive enough? How exactly do people within the paradigm most desire to define a community? Is it amenities, humanity or simply population size for exposure? Most of the special guests have been emailed and have expressed that population size for exposure is what most motivates them. But not all. Long-time member Dan Smith has other priorities and values motivating his participation. Should this open opportunities for unattached junior guests who have experience and dialog to contribute to the world? How best to make use of OMF's time, experience and resources?

Many skeptics would like to see the historical guardian of discourse opportunity to just up and disappear; go into permanent stasis. They think that not everyone has a right to speak about their experiences and if there is no proof involved then there can philosophically be no value to discourse. I personally would respectfully disagree with them. Discourse has always been the prelude to meaningful relationships and meaningful mutual relationships have always been the prelude to exchanges of proof. In a contentious social environment with regards to communication vs disclosure how do we best re-establish a haven for those preludes? Is it only the "if we build it they will come" answer? Well considering OMF has been largely fully functional over the last four or five months this line of reasoning is not necessarily true. So what would be the best way re-establish this? Your suggestions are sought. Please comment.

    (this thread has been moved from Dan's subforum. It's CC's thread, thanks ~99)

    In order not to piss off Dan more than I may already have, I wanted to create a separate thread to track occasional news related to disclosure, eschatology, etc.

    First up - Professor Diana Pasulka's book American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology finally has a release date: February 2019 (U.S.) and April 2019 (UK).

    I believe Dan may have spoken to her at some point.

    Here's the flyer:

    Two Notable Disclosure Related Events Next Tuesday 9/11:

    1. Jeremy Corbell's Hunt for the Skinwalker documentary is released on iTunes. This was done in cooperation with George Knapp. The alleged big reveal is that the Pentagon was connected with Bob Bigelow's seven year NIDS study at the ranch.

    2. Tom Delonge's second volume in the Sekret Machines fiction series is also due out.

    Very interesting. 9/5/18 live interview with Linda Moulton Howe and Peter Levenda about his work with Delonge and his fiction books and how they both connect with encounters with other presences who interact with humans via the creation of portals. Also talk about the occult, Nazis (naturally), Antarctica, genetic engineering, panspermia and (of course) animal mutilations:

    Kerry Cassidy, who normally seems to believe every kook who knocks on her door, expresses skepticism about Alien Protocols' intentions in this strange and borderline boring interview conducted Thursday 9/6/18.

    AP should consider that no one is picking up the stories about his TTSA leaks because they really are not that explosive, not because Ron put a hex on him.

    Diana Pasulka appears in a two part Religion in Life interview to talk about her upcoming book American Cosmic. This appears to be the kind of show that you wake up to suddenly in the middle of the night, wet drool on your face and the couch cushions, a half empty bag of Smartfood popcorn strewed across your chest.
