Astro online forum dead ?

Daring Dave · #1 28-11-2004, 08:31 PM

Is it just me? Can others connect? Or is the astronomy online forum still down.. (7 days thus far)

Thankfully this forum has accomodated my astro addiction...

Cheers...

Daring Dave

yeh it's been dead for me too.. It used to go up and down every day or two, but this is the longest it's been down.

Hopefully the regulars over there will start being regulars here soon

Spread the word

Me too Ving, I am not big on Forums, but check (infrequently) CloudyNIghts. This one though seems like a big happy family, which is nice, very nice. Don't tell too many though.

iceman (Mike) · #10 15-12-2004, 08:40 PM

I agree Gary, it's nice to have a family feel.. and the people here are great and it's been awesome how people are helping each other out and developing the online friendships.

Of course though I still want the forums to grow and want to see more people, both newbies and advanced, signing up and participating in this great growing community that has really been missing in australasia.

I've only been here a week and like it already. Much easier to use than AO too.

I wish some of the other forums I'm an active member of were as friendly as this place.

I think I spend way to much time in them anyway and it might be time to drop out of a couple, check the list out:

Astronomy Forum
B3TA : WE LOVE THE WEB
Blogger
Cloudy Night's Forums
Communism Chat Board (JengaJam)
DBA Forums
DVD Plaza
Fuji Talk Forum
Home Theatre Central
IceInSpace Forums
MozillaZine Forums
My Yahoo!
Naked Dwarf
Topfield-Australia Forum
Yahoo! Groups _ My Groups (about 5 active ones)

Then there's IRC...

hi all, yep ao forum is still dead (four days now for me)
iceman, this is a great forum you have here. looks and feels a lot nicer than ao. shh, don't tell em i said that, I still want them to bring the forum back online!

iceman (Mike) · #13 16-12-2004, 07:58 PM

Hi Silvie, welcome to the forum.

I've seen you over at AO, glad you found your way to here!

I think you'll like it here, nice and friendly bunch and nice and active too. You'll never want to go back to that other forum again!

silvinator · #14 16-12-2004, 10:09 PM

Stuart, I had a feeling that was you! How are ya mate! the 10" isn't going at all, it's just been cloud, cloud and more CLOUD!!!
thanks for the welcome iceman...um, what other forum?

Mick (Michael) · #15 16-12-2004, 10:23 PM

Welcome Silvie, glad you make it to this forum.

ving (David) · #16 17-12-2004, 12:45 PM

hi ya silvie

made the trasition too huh?

I tend to go thru phases when it comes to forums. I never lurk tho... I either post my lil' heart out or not visit at all.

I still hope the AO forum gets its butt into gear as there are prolly ppl there who dont/wont come here.

It is unanamous yet?

Is this the most popular Austronomy forum in Australia yet? Sounds like a good time to have a poll Ice

Keep up the good work.

Paul

silvinator · #18 17-12-2004, 02:26 PM

heya david! yes, it took me a while to find this forum as my only link to it was through ao! should have saved it as a favourite eh?

By the way ice, I couldn't find your website using google search. I typed in "ice in space forum" and it didn't find you

then by chance, i just typed it in as a url and voila! i found your site!

iceman (Mike) · #19 17-12-2004, 04:38 PM

Yeh i've got to work on getting it listed better in google search etc.

I also need to buy iceinspace.com.au, because at the moment if you do an "Australian only" search it won't be listed except through my signature where i've posted on other aus forums.

Also the more links to iceinspace from other sites, also helps it get listed in google.. so if you've got a site, link to us here!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, it means a lot.

silvinator · #20 17-12-2004, 07:23 PM

I'll link this forum to my website too but I don't think it'll do you much good ice as nobody visits my site anyway. It's still under

Not enough hours in the day to work on it...we need to colonise Mars or the moon or something
