Mike,
I myself, have not long returned to astronomy after about a 35 year hiatus. I'd only heard about IIS late last year from someone in my astronomy club. Having joined in February this year, I immediately saw the value in the site as a central point for communication and a place where members can use their particular expertise to help each other. The most striking and refreshing thing about the forums is the enthusiasm of the members, their willingness to assist and their eagerness to join sensible debate.
IIS is not only important for its educational value but also in its promotion of a growing interest in astronomy.
Congratulations on the five year success story!
Regards, Rob.
