Which is probably more than can be said for some others ... :p
And ditto the:notworthy: comments from Dod ... :thumbs:
thanks Dod...yes it is busy, and thats all down to you guys, thanks for using Talk Photography,
...Onward and Upward!
I've recommended a friend to come here today... hope he comes along soon
Indeed. I've always stated that a forum is nothing without its members.
If you guys hadn't been posting, then there's be no new posts to read :)
So thanks to YOU lot for being the community here...We just provide the seats :)
'scuse me while I go and do some manly stuff...I need to do some DIY or something, get me some credibility back for being mushy :D

Got to admit its a struggle to keep up these days, not a bad thing - also the place maintains its friendly atmosphere which is the reason I came here in the first place.
Well done all:clap:

And I pic strawberries ... cos she tells me too ... :p
See thread if you don't believe ... :lol:
Agree the activity level is good.
Hope we don't get too many people thinking their pictures are being ignored just because the activity level may dilute the comment ratio a bit.
I have to regularly scratch my bum and drink milky tea with sugar, just to remind me which side of the fence I was born on.....
I blame being a house husband :D It's thrown me internal balance out of wack :p

i do try and make sure i look at every picture and comment, but i was out yesterday, and had a page and a half full to look at this morning, by the time i got to it tonight it was nearly 2 pages.
Looks like lots of people are still taking the time to look at all of them though, and most images get a good few comments too, so its all fine!:clap:

I was recommended this place by Noah - and rightly so, it seems!
I must agree, it's getting real hard to keep up with posts in the photosharing section, If i'm busy for a day then I stand no chance of catching up with the previous 24 hours. I suppose one benefit is it means that hopefully more people will post in critique as it's quieter in there ;)
I was wondering when you'd be along Mr Ansari! I've seen your stuff over at OCUK. Very impressive.
There's no chance Im gonna have time to read all that I've missed :( :p
you need better time management Joe, try not working during the day, thats how i keep up

Well i should be working at the mo, but as usual i am larking round here. This place is a great source of procrastination ;)
It does also have some great pictures and people too. As has been said, it really is the friendliest forum i have been on.
:D

Its a fact that on most large forums the **General Discussion** forum has the most activity.
Take a look at The DVD Forums.... Initially a DVD based forum but most member are there for either the Bargain Forum or to chat in the General Discussion debates.
I hope that doesnt become the norm here..:(

photo sharing is by far the busiest, dont think this will turn ibto offtopic.com
Nah we're first and foremost a photography forum, and we'll stay that way...I'm not speaking for Matty and DF, cos I havent asked them, but I know it's what I want, and I'm sure they do too.
I know what you mean at DVDF, while it's a good forum, it has kinda detracted from its original ethos. Just like OcUK has.
The problem with some forums, is that they get a calling for a particular topic and try and embrace it in its own forum, kinda like branching out. That's not to say it's a bad thing, but it can have a detrimental effect on the original community and the original reason teh forum was started.
Therefore, from my seat, I want this place to stay first and foremost a photography forum, and no one other subject (or collective of subjects) will ever be more prominent on here. :)
(I just hope Matty and DF agree with me now, or I've got one hell of a catfight comin up :p)

That is exactly what I was trying to say Marcel, You just worded it better than me.;) Public schools..:razz::razz::razz:
As you frequent that site like myself most of the arguments/flame wars/personal attacks come from stupid reasons on The General Forums and it would be a shame to see this place turn out the same.:(
As I fully believe,;) this place is the place to be for a decent bit of banter but most of all photography.:)
May it stay this way...:clap:

I know what you mean mate.
I didn't know my @rse from my elbow when I used to do the ironing and the Mrs lay on the couch farting.
As I fully believe,;) this place is the place to be for a decent bit of banter but most of all photography.:)
May it stay this way...:clap:
