As for the Space idea, there needs to be a limit on how advanced we can be. It got horribly out of control in the LM rp.
I think that the technology cap should be at the level of 2001: A Space Odyssey. As in, we have a solid (but tentative) presence on the moon, we've only mastered travel between the moon and possibly mars, and we are only beginning manned missions to the outer planets (So no bases or ships in outer planet systems).

With the Space RP, we'd have to have a set system of rules and numbers in order for it to be fair. The only system I know of that can be applied to an internet game is Dragon's Traveler system he proposed a while back (I know you loathe the idea, Milton, but trust me, the spreadsheets aren't bad in the slightest). I mean, unless we want to create our own system, or if we can find something else that works better, I think it's something we could use with a high degree of certainty.
As for the technology limitations, if we use a specific system (which we should), I think we should just go all-out and max it. I think it would be more fun if we had all of the possibilities open to us (which in turn creates variety, and variety makes for many unique situations, which in turn makes things fun, and that's what is most important, right?). Or at least something that strikes a balance between complexity and manageability.

Alright, I finished carving up a possible map (still haven't heard any objections).
(had to enhance the colors in MS Picture Manager, since I discovered that the original map wouldn't let 90% of the available colors show up as anything other than grey)
How does it look? I tried to make the individual regions as "random," shall we say, as I could. The regions are generally the same size, although there are ones that are larger than others.
Any suggestions, or proposals for other maps?

Alright, the forums and usergroup should be up sometime this week. I'll go ahead and implement the new map so we can get things rolling.

We could divide the map into five regions. Maybe something like this:

Alright. Phase One complete. The forums have been reconstructed. Now, let's talk about Phase Two: increasing the size of the member base.
Any and all ideas will be entertained regarding attracting new members. So, let's hear them.
Mr Psi, I understand that advertising on other NS forums, as well as using telegrams in NS proper are options available to us. How could we go about monopolizing this?
