There are over 60 members now

Here is the place for the admins or moderators to do their annoucements. Or, if you have bought a new scope and want the whole world to know, do it here. Basically this is the place for any astro first-hand news.

actually it's not too bad already. We have 364 post in barely a week. In yahoogroups, with 260+ members, our record is only 600+ post in a month!

So if you do the maths, the response has been pretty good. Over time, it should get better.

I think what I like most is that you can follow a thread easily. Also I can easily highlight a quote.

However, most people have not use other features like bolding or using different colours of text. And not many has done direct attachment of pictures using the [img]url[/img] tag.

There are a lot more other interesting stuff waiting to be found.

Hey hello... I'm sorry if maybe y'all mistook me for Zhongyao!!!

I am Zongyao, not Zhongyao. I've seen another guy called Zhongyao in yahoogroups before, I was surprised too... :|

But if you're really refering to me... hehe, yeah I also live in Toa Payoh, which seems quite unlikely right? I only found out there were observations in this area like when I joined Singastro... :P

I just join this group and realise that it is quite interesting. I have yet to learn more new A s t r o l o g y, or simply "the sky" from the "old hats" (may I said so). Keep it alive and welcome more newbies even they asked "K1 or K2" questions on the special subject called "Astrology or astronomy or what ever".

Frankly speaking, all of you must have the GREAT INTEREST to get so deep into the subject or practical term --> "just go out there and look at the sky and amaze yourself". Most newbies need the experience persons to guide before the can fly safely. I sinerely wish that this singastro group could achieve this simple goal. What is the outcome? you are inviting more newbies with little (1-5%) interest to start participate and all of you shall be amazed by the exponential increment of this group.

keep it up.

cheers,
