Two landmarks - 3000 members, 10000 posts

Hear, hear! I'd be happy to chip in to help running costs.

It's working Bob. The closer we get to "D" day the more will join. Looking forward to what this evolves into. Already seeing a lot I know from DPR, so that's a huge bonus from here. Have a good one.

Amazing growth! Let's sort the issues and make this site even better 😊

I am a software developer so I could probably be of some assistance

It is great that this was set up so quickly and that it is attracting so many members (both old and new). Thanks to everyone who worked to get this done.

Something to consider is while DPR had thousands of members the vast majority were not active. All those coming here will be active.

One day we will brag about beign in the first 1000.
I like that many, if not most, are keeping their DPR name.
To add : I have about 80 members on ignore at DPR (many were later banned trolls...) would be nice to be able to transfer that list here. (half joking...)

/Friendly indeed ...

Yes, "Clone" is a little presumptuous.

Just trying a bit of BB code ... enjoy your sleep and keep up the good work, Bob!

Thanks a lot Bob for doing this……good to be part of a community with the same interests……thanks again

I really appreciate all the efforts that your Bob and the team are making to get this site up and running. this is truly remarkable. what surprises me the most is that many or all of the members want everything to go smoothly at the drop of a hat!
They don't seem to realize that it is a lot of work!
That said I was able to log in and upload a photo! But like a few other members I was unable to register. Keep up the good work guys!

Yes, I am not comfortable with the attitude of the Admin guy there going by his replies to my and some other members' posts there. He seems to run his site along the line "It's my way or the highway".

I tried to close my account there but can't find how, so I posted a thread in Open Talk there asking how to close accounts on his site. Let's see if I get a reply.

Much friendlier and comfortable here :-)

Finally here mate, and my old avatar came out of nowhere again. can finally talk openly again without being stalked by dpr moderators.

Indeed. Or most of those coming here anyway. DPR didn't remove inactive accounts. I joined early 2000 something when I got my first little digital camera. But I mainly lurked and soon lost interest (camera wasn't what I had hoped for). Then I didn't return until, I think, 2015, My account was till there and I managed to log in.

Fwiw, I told the admin guy there to close my account properly because the instructions he gave me didn't stop the account from being used again.

I won't be going back there :-)

Thank you very much for setting this site up.....giving hope to many who felt the loss of DPR was immense (which it is)

The camaraderie and friendship there will hopefully transfer here and this will soon become as active as DPR was.

I used to love the retouch forum but cannot see an equivalent here - or am I missing something please?

Once again, thank you for doing this...all credit to those involved.
Best wishes
