Is it on the wrong thread, then? If so, can it be put where it should be? Or should it be deleted altogether? Or am I using the wrong terminology?

It is on its own thread - you started the thread :).

Perhaps it would help if you added some words to the first post, explaining what the site is, what you think of it, and why it might be important to us?

As it stands now, this thread is not accomplishing much.

I get ya; this way when people see stuff in the sky and everyone and there brother says "oh it's probably the ISS" you can look at that site and find out.
