Certain ex-members have joined another forum, where they have been slapping each others' backs and saying silly things.

And guess what?

The thread has been closed!

One does rather feel for the defectives, sorry, I mean defectors. They fled to escape persecution and the trampling of their human rights here, and already their new-found home has shut them up.

It's a wicked world.

What is this, Lord Of The Flies?

This forum has recently lost a number of good and active members. As far as I can work out, seven or eight for good and a further half dozen who will be winding down their activity here. Three PPG centurions gone. I don't see this as a reason to celebrate. A propos.
You can see some of my photos here if you are so inclined

Care to spell out the implication of that comment George?

This disgraceful and disrespectful thread is entirely your responsibility and you as an apparently intelligent member should be ashamed.

I have read the so called back slapping thread and it's nothing more than old friends meeting at a bar somewhere after having a shared bad experience.

That really is rich George. I have always had some respect and regard for you enjoying your generally witty posts. But sadly I find your role in this debacle very disappointing.

Lighten up - pfui.

Not quite. I'm a moderator there. And I'm a member here. I hope that this illustrates the fact that usually there is more going on than people think when moderation occurs.

It actually got closed by a colleague over there because some guy joined PF just and apparently only in order to enter into the fray on that thread, trying to stoke it up. Including a snide comment about how out of all the people on that thread, only 1 person is even a "respected" Pentax shooter.

We've got better things to do than to talk about the recent PU dingdong over at PF. We're there to talk about photography, Pentax, all the good stuff, not to bicker. They're both fine communities. And I think that everyone should perhaps remember that and just get on with making photos.

And that's all I'll say about the matter.
... just another middle-aged guy with a hobby. I have an extreme macro learning site at extreme-macro.co.uk - Pentax-centric, your feedback and comments would be appreciated!

Mike, I don't have a role in this "debacle", other than to suggest that a number of people have over-reacted, and that if some of them knew the background to these events, they might form a different view.

I'm sorry that my childish sense of humour has risked re-igniting the embers of this conflagration, but it WAS deeply ironic.

As for Blythman's secret, I couldn't possibly comment.
