Thankyou for posting Josh. I look forward to hearing more over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the feedback. Work in progress is much more re-assuring than ......Blythman wrote:

Thanks from me too for the feedback from Joshwa, this is the tone we have been wanting to hear and it is at least reassuring that opinions don't seem to be getting completely ignored.
I too have reservations about some of the attitudes and posts made by some members and also by the tone of some posts on the other Forum, but also I could say the same about some posts made on here by the Moderators.
We need to find a happy medium whereby we can have lively and challenging debate that stimulates discussion but doesn't step over the line into rudeness or personal attacks, which it has done on some occasions.
We need more skilled photographers on this Forum and the site in general, we cannot afford to lose them to other sites. Pentax have few to start with, so losing a significant percentage is going to hurt!
Regards
David

Everyone's still there and here David, there's just a period of confusion and some positioning going on. We're all still the same people, Pentax shooters. There's no point in the uk community being fractured and split along these sort of lines. Lets hope that the work in progress referred to here will go towards helping people to come back.

How daft to get all cross and girly over a simple hobby like photography. People need to give themselves a good talking to.
As my dear old mum used to say: "If that's all you've got to worry about then things can't be all that bad."
Not everything matters and some things matter much less than we think.
Like Nigel, I do hope the exiles return soon.

This thread explains a lot. When I asked a question about it before, the thread was removed!

You will have to forgive me questioning your motives for a comment like that Jim (especially from a member who joined yesterday).It’s kind a like puttin’ gas in a car that you’ve already wrecked.

If you truly believe this forum is wrecked and beyond hope - what are you doing here?

Its the nature of a lot of the gossip thats stops me participating on the new forum. Guess as a forum it will eventually mature (or die). Certainly don't rule out participating in the future.
