All I know is that the registration process is different than the one used to access the forum. The two use different systems. I setup my account with the new system via a Google account I have had for many years. It was painless.

So the site is a pretty woman?

Here are some sources that may help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Space_Council https://www.unesco.org/en/ethics-science-technology/comest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Generation_Advisory_Council https://ethics.calpoly.edu/spacedataethics.htm...

I would assume that the various space agencies would have such bodies in place. Have you looked into any of those?

The "why" I was commenting on was in regard to the specific decision to stand down this forum, not the greater "why" and path forward discussed by UE. In general, "paid" forum sites haven't been very popular/successful. Just an observation based on previous experience and discussions elsewhere...
