I have thought of changing the name of the forum but that probably requires requires the acquisition of an additional domain name pointed at this location.


If people think it worthwhile I will do the necessary but in reality this forum is very small compared to the FujiX forum that I moderate on that has 56000 members that is Fuji dedicated.  

I would also need to have a good proposal for what we should call the forum and its purpose.


Can't see any point in changing the name unless you hope to entice more members.

Digital photography is no longer the black art we once considered it to be. The need for basic help and explanation has diminished with people's day to day exposure to digital devices like mobile phones and tablets.

Although widely experienced, I don't believe with our limited pool, we have sufficient depth to give enough guidance to all comers. 56000 would stand a better chance of covering every angle....several times over.

I also suspect that the newness of the X system played a big part in that forums growth. Lots of people wanting to fast track their own learning.
