essentially forcing people to post, what is even considered high quality anyway? As i think i have said before, the basis of a forum is to have questions answered, i.e. i have x problem, please help, then the community kicks into gear and helps, this has always been the way when i have had tech problems, either the asker or the answerer i have been and this works.  Wouldnt the best way be as forums have always been, we have moderators who simply kick the idiots out, nice and easy!

all you have to do is consider how many raw materials actually exist in space, gold, platinum, iron ore, aluminium, paladium, helium, hydrogen, even just one asteriod could dwarf the entire supply of platinum currently present here on earth.  It is a solid business plan, the problem is getting to it and harvesting the riches space has to offer.  Tourism and the like is just an nice idea to sell to the masses the real money is in space mining and colonization, that is what they know.
