I don't know what it is but it seems like so many astrology forums, even this one, are built on old software. Even when I read posts from other astrology forums, it seems as if they are barely as active as they used to be. Now you'd think that maybe the action would go some places and it sometimes does. Reddit's Astrology sub has great information and I am a huge fan of their strict moderation policies, especially one that stops spammers from promoting their garbage websites like they would occasionally on this forum. Discord has been crap for astrology. I wonder, where is it all going now? IP: Logged |

This seems like it includes a dig at a fellow poster, which sucks. She isn’t spamming anything. I have my issues with this place, but why are you poking at the state of the forum again? Astrology forums are busy on Facebook, Instagram has a lot of Astro posters, and tiktok probably does, too. I follow some astrologers on Twitter, but not many. Friends of mine have a small forum, and they are an interesting, experienced group. Astro.com still looks busy, but I hardly ever visit. IP: Logged |

@plutonianmenace, The real reason the energy has seemed to decrease is more about world issues. We as humans Are in harder times than we have known. Many are distracted from astrology, divination. The stronger ones (less distracted) and non waivering one's are who are around these places still. Some people turned to religion too. Abandoning the divinity path of our styles here. We that show up @LL and elsewhere may have had a less difficult personal times through the c19 era. Many have had rough waters. This path, of astrology etc is requiring much energy some just haven't got atm. They may be dealing with losses in many varying areas. IP: Logged |

I am the last guy to engage in petty drama unless someone goes right at me Teasel, why are you trying to get me to stir some pot? What I am doing is calling out how so much of astrology sites these days seem to be pop crap or full of novices with no value. It is bigger than Astrology too though, I notice that in the past couple of decades, forums have declined. It either all seems to go on reddit or at worst discord. Discord is a pain because of how much more distracting it can be in the day to day compared to an internet forum. IP: Logged |

You are right, I’m sorry. You are the very last member of this forum, that I would expect to involve themselves in petty drama. What are you looking for? You're complimenting reddit, talking about their excellent moderation. Insulting message boards is petty. I gave some examples. Are you a member of facebook groups? IP: Logged | |
