This website is migrating to a new server and to new software with significant enhancements for the user community.
the migration of the forums is going to take a while, so they will be shut down for the duration (which shouldn’t be more than two weeks and hopefully less). The forums will be readable, but no posting.

Seasteading Meetup Generates Exciting New Action
We occasionally receive feedback from people who want to know why The Seasteading Institute doesn’t simply attempt to build a seastead straight away.
Temporary shutdown of www.seasteading.org forums
Greetings www.seasteading.org forum users:
We are going to temporarily shutdown the forums beginning on Friday, Dec 23. We hope to have the forums live again by the second week of January, 2012. This temporary halt is due to our website upgrade and migration.
We apologize in advance if this causes you any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your active participation in the forums and we look forward to providing you with this space to discuss your seasteading related ideas again shortly.
On behalf of The Seasteading Institute,
December Meetup with Talk on Practical Aquaculture
Join us for an evening of exciting talks, brainstorming and socializing with some of the most interesting people in the seasteading movement. This time we continue with practical topics, and Mike Doty will present a talk on Aquaculture for Seasteads. He will cover the possibilities for the industry in general, and look specifically at salmon as a species to be farmed (sales, feed conversion, growth rate, etc).
