Title: Is this the most populated Astral site?
Post by: Tiny on September 24, 2009, 21:55:43
I used to post at astralsociety.org years ago (under a different name) and that was much more crowded than Astralpulse, although I have to say that Astralpulse is a much more pleasant forum.

Astraldynamics seems to also go a bit stale in member activity.

Then the only thing I can think of is the dreamviews.com forum which has nice vibes and some talk about AP and OBE a little.


Any more?  :?

Here's all the links I have to some other projection forums, other than the 2 you already mentioned.  I'm sure there are more, but these are all I have at the moment.

LD4all (http://ld4all.com/forum/index.php?sid=34dcbe69092971cefcfa924ed99e2719)
Explorations in Consciousness (http://www.explorations-in-consciousness.com/forums/)
International Association for the Study of Dreams (http://dreamtalk.hypermart.net/bb2005/index.php)
Sea Life (http://www.sealifedreams.com/community)
The Fishbowl (http://herownroom.com/forum/)
Astralweb (http://www.astralweb.org/forum)
Saltcube (http://www.saltcube.com/out-of-body/chat-forum/)

LD4all is probably the most active and informative in the list above, IMO.

Yeah, this place is pretty dead now. I was here from around 2001, before a couple major data losses, when Robert Bruce was still co-proprieter. It is hard to say objectively, but I feel as though there was significantly more regular activity, and plenty of people who posted multiple times per day, both of which have severely declined. It is true that Robert Bruce (and Adrian?) now have their own independent forums, which must have divided the interest pool between them, but I still can't help but feel there is either less interest today, or less expectations of new developments.

I wonder if this lulling is the result of changes in society's general interests on a demographic level, or just purely attributable to other factors.

You'd think with all of this 2012 hype there would be more people curious about AP. 

Most people just aren't interested in exploring their consciousness. They would rather watch youtube videos and play video games.

Uncle S will always allow everyone to create their own illusions but never, ever get out.

You know, some people play prison games, others play prison break.

Why not both? I play video games... nothing wrong with it I think, it is not an obsession though. Then again video games form part of my job...
