Current State of Affairs on Photo.net

A variety of fine features have vanished, other things are "broken" with no explanation or apparent plan for repair. All of these factors have diminished the value and interest in membership. There has been no viable route to communicate with the site owners. I suggest the following as a course of action toward the goal of achieving communication and rehabilitating Photo.net.

All members who are dissatisfied with current conditions should consider posting a brief message, directed to Ownership describing broken, missing, or dysfunctional features important to them that reduce the value of their subscription. They might consider doing the same regularly on whatever schedule makes sense to them until improvement is seen. At the same time, reducing participation could be another tool to gain attention, and hopefully return to full functionality.

 

Should this initiative turn out to result in my removal, all the best moving forward to friends and foes alike.

A similar thing happened at Popular Photography a few several years ago. Little by little repairs weren't made, and owners were seen less, and less, until they finally folded their tent. Same deal at the photo corner. Sadly I think this place is also probably going the way of the Dodo.

One size doesn't fit all. A decent magazine for its time I subscribed to and a web site of note are different. We can only do what we can - Winston Churchill comes to mind - "Never, never, never surrender". I may be a never or two short on the quote. You pays your penny and takes your chance.

Pardon my ignorance, or if i am misunderstanding this completely, but....................... you said in Post #1 "There has been no viable route to communicate with the site owners."

You continue to Administer or Moderate a Forum for owners that ignore you.?

It isn't about "Them', it is about Me, Photo.net, and Honor. I learned an enormous amount here, valued the experience, and promised to stay till / if the ship sinks and the band stops playing. I do no one's bidding, just what little I can to benefit the site. Make any of that a sin, except possibly of pride, if you can.

2f this site fails it's our fault not some hidden power2 eric

 

The reality, the truth..

I am trying to keep this site alive, and relevant. I've drawn inspiration and education from it. In Portuguese. it is Agua Ge Beber (Water to Drink). It's like a fountain, and I need a drink (of creative inspiration). I enjoy this site. It has something for most everyone from novice to professional.

This site is like old friend, like community that been tested by the years. I know people keep coming back to read,even if they not posting that often.

Pandemic is effecting activity, not much travel or events. Hopefully we will get through.
