What happened to our old Fossett thread? I can't even access it. Even if it is being locked to move the discussion to this new thread, we should still have access to the old thread with a note in it for people to come here.

I agree, at least they should leave the thread up with the note to migrate here. There's a lot of good info on that thread.
Hope everyone makes it here ok.

There's a link on the old thread that takes you to the archive of our orginal Steve Fossett thread for read-only now : "Archive >> Discussions (read only)." The last post on that thread is from no_stranger informing us about the change of thread; apparently it was getting too large, hence this new thread. I wonder if everyone else will find their way here.

Ken, This is when you should start collecting personal email address of all the guys that have stuck in here this long.
You already have mine.

Hi all I will post links to some of the images I took today in/around Powell Canyon and near the ranch...
If you would like to see them please click on the link to view...I thought I would do it this was as some have said something about thread loading slow due to images posted directly to the thread...give a little bit of time to change sizes and upload images to photobucket...

Yes you are right I really should.
ATTENTION:
As I mentioned in the old thread a couple days the other day I registered the domains:
InternetSAR.org, InternetSAR.net, InternetSAR.com & InternetSAR.info with the idea of making one of them (probably the .org) the home of our efforts to organize an official and long lived Internet based SAR organization and search tool. We are still actively doing what we can with the search for Steve Fossett, but I'd like to see us start to institutionalize the knowledge we have gained from the past ten weeks of efforts.
Anyone who is willing to help organize such an effort please PM me. For now we should use this thread for the bulk of our discussion, but it would be nice to start getting a feel for who would like to help organize us. Organizing such an organization will take a lot of talented people who have many different backgrounds including SAR, imagery analysis, legal, fund raising (even if we all volunteer there will still be costs), computer programming (I can't do this alone), technical writing, graphics design, etc. I'd like to see our effort to organize be as inclusive as is possible.
I don't know how such an organization would be organized, but I kind of envision a not-for-profit model with the objective being the creation of the most cost effective method possible to conduct collaborative imagery analysis possible.
In the short run I can provide web hosting for our efforts, but eventually if things go well our efforts might need their own web servers.
