X-Message-Number: 24244 From: "Gerhard Schloss" <> Subject: ESCHATON OUTLOOK Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2004 18:14:14 -0400 Hi! I think it s obvious we, as cryonics advocates, need to embrace the Internet and use it to spread the good news. We ve done a lousy job so far. A step in that direction (for better or worse) has been Rick Potvin s forum(s). Many people, maybe you among them, have found Rick s forums trying. I did too. But it s a good idea. I m excited because Jonathan Hinek s Eschaton Outlook has taken the lead after Rick temporarily shut down his site. Mr. Hinek s success in hosting a truly free and uncensored board has been so dramatic that his is now the anchor site of Rick s own CryoDisc! Under Jonathan s steady stewardship, I foresee EO s gradual evolution to a complete one-stop shop for cryonics discussions and information.: Among my ideas * Sub forums for cryonics groups, like Alcor and CI, to post information and answer questions. * Public relations area (items for the press, etc.) * FAQs * File area * Direct integration with CryoNet as a sub forum. * Regular columns from notable cryonicists. * And eventually a mute button where readers can decide for themselves which posters they want to hear from based on a customizable profile. There s a long way to go towards this goal. A real online community can begin with this step.
