Pentax User New Worldwide Domain Name

Pentax User switches .co.uk for .com to target the rest of the world.

Posted: 09/03/2015 - 12:48


Pentax User is now using pentaxuser.com as its primary domain to further broaden its audience demographic. 

Pentax User not only wants to be the best Pentax enthusiast site in the UK, but also the rest of the world and this small change will help the site with this goal. 

Current users may want to update their bookmarks with the new domain name: www.pentaxuser.com however, visitors will be automatically redirected from the old domain.

This is strange, very strange when you say "I quite liked it being more UK based", as a world wide experience is
better rewarding. There are a broader range of inputs, more how to, problem solving, DIY, tips and tricks, comparative studies, a wide member base contributing to more articles and help topics, and much more.
Note Britain is past the technical intelligence it once had, like say automobiles and manufacturing - we were proud of our Austins and still have one - so that finally the sun has set on the British Empire.
Do also note that we get to know of the special offers and low low prices from world wide Forums - so that you can coax UK Photo Stores to lower their prices.
Example we bought the K-5 IIs + original Grip + 64 GB Ultra SanDisk Card for $ 525 from the world's largest camera store B&H of New York. Adorama had still better prices.

One reason to prefer a dedicated UK forum is that shopping advice is relevant.

Another is that members share a common language and background.

Another is that there is no irrelevant stuff. There is not much point in talking about meeting up in Baltimore or Brazil when you live in Bootle. And if Bootleman does plan to go to Baltimore, he can join a US forum temporarily.

The fact is, that if an international forum were preferred by members, then we wouldn't be members here. N'est ce pas?

I suspect this forum will continue to have a largely UK membership for a very long time.

The Classified Ads section may need updating too.

Yes, and we must remember not to offer free postage, without mentioning UK only.

Despite filters at least 60% of email from pentaxuser.com is being classed as spam. It wasn't broken before so why try and fixed it only to succeed in F***ing it up
