The Astral Observatory Forums are the main form of communication used by the members of the Astral Observatory. Though players only first discovered them on October 31st of 2018, an earlier incarnation of them had supposedly existed since July of that same year. These forums hosted countless character interactions for the players, making them a very important location.
Story
The Astral Observatory was founded sometime in July of 2018. It is implied that along with the creation of Astralobservatory.net, the forums were created around this time as well. While IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and José all joined the site with the intention of putting a stop to Nocta's plans, other users such as Kaiden Zoromichi, Yuukichan, and NotAHoax all flocked to the site naturally with no secondary motivations. The users all seemed to get along well. Kaiden, IsocelesAssassin, and Yuukichan all participated in a roleplay together. There was also supposedly a "Kemono Friends" thread with over 1000 pages.
Nocta later created a board titled "The Truth" on the Astral Observatory Forums. This board was locked and the login information was only given out to users he trusted. This board contained a thread detailing the group's history and a link to the Subspace - a secret section of Astralobservatory.net that contained the group's more occult knowledge. Over time, the Astral Observatory Forums were revealed to be more of an indoctrination tool that Nocta uses to gain more members for the Subspace.
On October 21st, Astralobservatory.net went offline, resulting in massive data loss and the corruption of the forums. Nocta blamed this on Johnisdead.com supposedly stealing the site's bandwidth. The players discovered Astralobservatory.net on October 24th. Due to their past involvement with Johnisdead.com, Nocta portrayed the players as if they were potentially responsible for the loss of the forums. On October 31st, the Astral Observatory Forums had been recreated. The players were now able to chat with the other members of the forums. Around this time, Nocta made a post about the players in "The Truth" board. The exact contents of this post are unknown, however.
Players began prying for more information about the Astral Observatory and their connection to the Lunar Children. On November 11th, Moonman reached out to the players in PM's, offering to give them more information in a secure location. This led to the creation of the Safe Haven Discord Server, where players could chat with Moonman in a more controlled environment. On November 13th, Nocta reached out to the player ARGdov, seeing potential in adding him to the group's inner circle.
