Some of us are trying to get another forum to splinter from the standard AP forum. It's about Science, History and Exploration. We post those threads now in the AP forum but they get lost real fast. We gathered enough names in the AP forum to get the poll up, but just barely. This UAV forum is probably a much better place to solicit for interested parties. I know there are a lot of folks here involved with and that understand the importance of education and documentation.
Due to the short list of interested AP guys, and a few that don’t want to see it happen, we fear the “No” votes might accumulate high enough to prevent the forum from being started. We already hit our 50 plus names that wanted the forum and moved it into the poll process. But a few “No” votes are creeping in. With a week to go on voting I just don’t want the “Yes” votes shut down by the “No” votes. It would only take 25% of no votes to prevent the forum. We need a lot more than the 57 votes that originally signed on.
Who would want to stop Educational, Historic or Discovery threads from having their own home anyway?
We could use your help to make sure this forum gets started.
Thanks all.

Here’s a link to the poll.

Here's the information I posted on it.
Forum Name: Aerial Photography for Scientific and Historical Discovery
Category: Exotic and Special Interest
Description: This would be a forum dedicated to both pictures and written information of a Scientific or Historical interest. Topics are to include Earth Sciences such as Geology, Natural disasters, etc. Native American early culture. Desert life such as Ghost towns, Early settlers etc. Castles and Forts etc. These are just a few examples. Emphasis on these posts will include adding descriptions, historical documents when applicable, as well as explanations of how, who, when, where or why these places or situations came to be.
Justification: There is a growing core of RCAP photographers with a high interest in this type of forum. Many of these topics have appeared in the AP forum but they get lost in the high volume of general information threads. A specific forum dedicated to these topics would provide a location for this information to collect in a library type of setting. Here they can be located, shared and researched in a more concise manner.

Here’s an example of a thread of the style that we’re hoping to contain in the new forum.
