Is This Forum Dying?

[mark_harrington1]

<p>I rarely visit this site anymore so my question is a bit hypocritical, but I remember a fairly robust site with lots of new threads. Granted, many were infuriating and repetitive, like What lens should I use or what should I buy next, but there was a good sense of community. I see a couple of old names I remember but sadly looking at the post, there are very few new discussions... What happened? Why is there so little activity on a site that I used to really enjoy?</p>

<p>Well, you right Mark. I can add even more examples of absurd questioning on this forum, time to time and more and more. I don't even renew my subscription for 2015 anymore. Regardless, I like the simplicity and openness of this web site. But the quality of forum questions, sometime ridiculous. Also the quality of posted images are much lover then used to be, years, years ago. I also noticed, many good amateurs, talented photographers left this site.</p>

<p>This has been asked before. For reference, below are some of those previous conversations.</p>

<p>It should be obvious that we would enjoy many of the “old names” visiting this Wedding and Social Events Forum more often and, contributing more often, too.</p>

<p>In regard to the quality of photos being posted on this Forum it also should be obvious that we would enjoy more photos being posted for critique and/or just general discussion. So, perhaps some more photos, will be forthcoming, shortly.</p>

<p>Some previous threads on the same topic, for reference:</p>

<p>In summary, a sense of community is mostly about the contributions of the community members, so we look forward to those contributions about Weddings and Social Events, on new threads, as we now close this one.</p>
