Why do we need another forum when we're all already here?
From a purely selfish perspective I agree with Nic. I only have so much time in the day and I neglect Filmwasters more than I'd like already. I don't want you all disappearing somewhere else to talk to each other! Come back, close the door!!
Seriously though, I wish Ben good luck with his forum...if he can attract a whole bunch of DIFFERENT people to the wonderful world of film that will be great. I'd join as an act of solidarity etc., but I can't see that I'd have time to go there so it would be a bit of an empty gesture. If nothing else this serves as a reminder to those of us 'running' Filmwasters, that if we want to keep you coming back here we have to stay on top of things and keep it interesting. In that respect a little competition is a good thing. Also, as we've discussed on previous posts, we aren't doing FW for page hits, or ad revenue etc. We just wanted a fun place to hang out online and talk photography with like-minded people and without all the tech speak...keep it focussed on the images, the creativity, the inspiration...the pictures of graveyards, dinosaurs, statues and Leon's dogs
So another photo forum or 3 is no biggie as long as
you lot hang around here still and keep things from getting boring.
