The forum is pretty much standard phpbb. I'm willing to customize it if there is a strong desire/need for a new feature.

I've tried to create forums that cover what visitors to Survive 2012 and members of this forum wish to discuss. Any new ideas welcomed.

It could do with a paint job, Robert

I would like to see it have a modified theme setup/installed. Something that takes it away from the default subsilver or the other one which I use. Nothing really crazy, just something that makes it stand out and so it's unique but still nice to look at.

Shu and me were talking about a few of the boards and if they were really needed. Shu mentioned the Dragon board, Planet X and the Water Ape board. I like the Dragon board so no complaints there(guess it doesn't get used much though). The Aquaitic Ape board I'm not sure about as it's not used to often.
Planet X is a big thing online but I don't think I'm confident to really advise on the board being here.

Over at the Prometheus Council forum I like the board "Life after an event...", thats one to think on for here.

Two paint jobs now available.

Custom paint jobs are beyond my skillset, but these kinda fit.

I'd like to suggest a new board that contains all the facts - not theories, about 2012...with supporting links from news or scientific websites. This would be a repository for everyone to share information.

This would be a great place for newbies (like myself) to catch up on all the facts around 2012.

How about 2 sites?

I'm working on a database and a wiki - both sorely needed, both will have a level of input available to the public. On top of the forum and my blog that should give us the complete set!

BTW, facts are a bit thin on the ground - there is zero scientific evidence to suggest something bad will happen in 2012. All we know is that very bad things do happen from time to time, the ancients knew many things that we still don't understand today, and the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 - perhaps there is a connection between the three, and if there is a tiny percent chance that a connection exists, it would be prudent to prepare for the worst, just in case.

Sounds good Rob, any idea of eta, or website?

While we don't have 'hard' evidence, we do have facts that have to be more than a coincidence:

1) Mayan - Calendar ends on 2012, December 21 - 11:11 GMT

2) Cherokee - calendar also ends at 2012.

3) Egyptian - Great Pyramid (stone calendar), time cycle also ends in 2012

4) Hindu - Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years. Based on Hindu calendars today is about 5100 solar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started.

5) I Ching - Terrance McKenna's Time Wave theory. In that theory, the year 2012 is called "Time Wave Zero." McKenna took the I Ching, did some kind of mathematical fractal operation with it, and produced a computer program which supposedly produces a "time wave" which maps out something called "novelty" across the scale of time, from the Big Bang to the Eschaton, the ending of time. And guess what? The mapping of time mysteriously ends at 2012. The Omega point.

6) Bible Code - 2012 : comet large - stone-like / stony : object - sped
Tongue-like : Sun - whole earth / earth annihilated - smitten / stricken - smitten Planetary / wanderer : fragmentary : sixty mile - blunderbuss / scatter-gun Crater : Canada : ultimate : terrifying : appalling : lethal
Modifier - mantle - axis - tilting - tipping : Speeded
Seismic - eradication - It will be crumbled / I will tear to pieces

7) Solar activity will peak 2012 (Solar Maximum). NASA researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years.

8) Solar system passing through Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy

9) Sun and planets will be in perfect alignment with the center of the Milky Way on December 21, 2012.

10) Earth Changes - indicating End Times are near, Severe Weather
Volcanoes: Yellowstone is overdue, Pole Shift

11) Alien sightings...

I'd love to help you research these things.

Rob, any chance if naming the "Planet X" section of the forum - "UFO's" or something, with the sub title mentioning planet X. It's just that many posts seem to be UFO related and they are atm all over the place.

Cheers.

New forum added covering aliens and UFOs

I think you should have a place where people can post the perfect compounds and retreats, whether thier for sale, or just showing them off.

Regarding survival properties for sale, here is a site devoted to this already:
http://www.survivalrealty.com/

Otherwise, I think the How to Survive section of the forum would be the best place to show off retreats.

The 2012 Newbie Fourm. It would be a place where the page binskiboys created would be and it would give a place for people to ask questions and have some knowlage brfore they post. A place to update theroies too.

With ref to newbies.

How about a test your self interactive page.
I know you have Q&A but a test would be a quick way to check ourself on what we know...or think we know.

All newbies like me know something, thats why we are here ,,,,,,, but what is fact and what is fiction ?
What is true or false. I have known about 2012 for about 10 years, but the information I could find was almost zero. Now I have too much information and a quick test will set me on the right path. Then I can just worry about fact or high probability


you ask the questions. Then have box's with true and false or multi choice.
We click on what we think the answer is.
Then we get a score at the end.
We then can swot up on the area's we get wrong.

I think it would be very interesting to find out how aware we are.

Therein lies the problem. There's pretty much just one fact, the date the calendar ends. And even that is still open to plenty of debate.

If it were me I'd be including questions like:

Is Niburu real (no)
Are crop circles fake (yep)
Are governments aware of 2012 (no).

And someone else would say the opposite...

Hi Rob

Point taken

I think I feel better now

so the talk about planets lining up on 21 Dec 2012. Is this just hear say ?

Is it a fact that there will be a huge solar storm ?

I've been trying to pick the true bits out, but now I understand we just have that rotten date !
How did it come about that the world would end/change in 2012.
Is it just because the calendar ends then. If so maybe they just ran out of chalk...............................

I hope you dont mind me asking !

Just want it clear in my mind.
