Feedback Site changes, again

Dear Amin,

"CameraCommune.com", "Cameraderie.org" and "Photographers Lounge" - three good names! I like them all, but kind of lean towards Cameraderie. Maybe you should setup a polling entry.

I look forward to seeing the new combined site. I suspect this move will bring a lot more activity to ALL of the topics covered, which would be nothing but good! I have participated in the Leica, Film and Serious Compact (as well as Mu-43) forums for years and note that only Mu-43 seems to remain consistently active with new participants being drawn in.

That brings up a point. Might it not make good sense to include Mu-43 in the new site? After all, Mu-43 could be construed as a member of the SC fleet. Also the Mu-43 cameras are being challenged by other format mirrorless offerings and some full-frame cameras are shrinking to Mu-43 size. As much as I like Mu-43 cameras, I think it is entirely possible that we will see the Mu-43 cameras follow the 4/3 format machines into obscurity in the next few years (just like film). Just a thought, Sir.

With best regards,

George
 
Thanks, everyone. I'm going to go with Cameraderie.org. Once we type it a few times, our browser will do the spelling for us :). I know that no name will be liked by everyone and that this may not be the one that gets the most votes, but enough people like it that I'm gonna pull the trigger, buy the associated name/logo/SSL certificates, and proceed.

As far as including other sites, there are various reasons I can't go there. One is that our sponsor MPB.com has paid for advertising through the next 3 months on those sites, so I am committed there. But the other reason is that those sites are self sustaining (ad revenue paying their bills) and that it would be risky to merge them.

Structuring the site is going to be a work in progress. For now I've separated MFTs into brands. I know there is downside to that, but at least it is clear and consistent with brand forums all the way down. But it can all be changed. Let's see how it goes...
 
No problem with the changes, however I have different user names on FujiXspot and Serious Compacts. I would like to use the username from this forum. Any problem, Amin?
 
Would Photo Lounge, or The Photo Lounge, work? Fewer syllables(always a good thing) than Photographers Lounge, or Cameraderie and certainly not gear centric. Perhaps not descriptive enough, though.

Like Sue, I’ll be here regardless.
 
Well, although I seem to have been the one to suggest the new name, I think I would still prefer Photographers' Lounge. That had a nice relaxed feel about it. But whatever, I shall be here. Even more so if we merge with Film and Fuji.
 
Working on the changes right now. Colors and logo are not final. Forum structure is not final. FujiXspot hasn't been imported yet. Etc etc...
