* Astronomy

Fraser Cain and Phil Plait (from Universe Today and Bad Astronomy respectively) have decided to merge their two discussion forums together into one super forum. With a combined 11,000ish members (Ed – that is a lot) this will create one of the largest space and astronomy-related communities on the Internet. Phil and Fraser felt that our two communities were very similar, and there's a lot of overlap between members, topics, discussions, etc, that the merger just made sense.

The Universe Today forum will be offline on the evening of Saturday, September 3rd, to merge the forums together. Hopefully, new forum will be live and running within 24-48 hours later.
If you were already a member you should be able to just log into the new forum as you did before. More details about how to actually reach it once it's live.

Their two news sites will still of course remain separate.
