I agree. Those non-related topics are a problem.

Report them if you see them .
Let me rephrase that . At the bottom of the post , there’s 3 dots . Tap and a flag pops up with some other choices . Tap the flags and there’s more choices . I always flag these as spam . They get taken down and I haven’t seen any for a few weeks until today .
@Starrancher just did 5 more.

Well , I thought I’d try to give the new forum a helping hand to get it going again . It was the best Astronomy forum on the web before it got discontinued around 2010 . It no doubt takes some time to get a new one off the ground . But it certainly isn’t looking that great . I wonder if a lot of the old timers that were on back then have dropped out of the hobby or just moved on to greener pastures . I’d have thought that there would be more content from veterans of amateur astronomy that once graced the pages by now ….

I suspect a lot of members moved over to Cloudy Nights. I’ve been there for a few years but decided to give this site a try since I’m already a subscriber anyway. The potential is here but it needs abut more policing. As word gets around they will come.

Well hopefully it gets going and becomes what it once was in its former glory . It was pretty disappointing when the OG was shut down .
