I can't say I've successfully adopted that plan for myself. But it certainly makes sense....doesn't it?
Too many Jokes. Must show restraint . . .If it hasn't been used in a year, toss it out
First 7-8 years my wife and I were married we moved every 6 - 18 months, if it hadn't been used since the last move it didn't get moved.If it hasn't been used in a year, toss it out
...Finally I have a suggestion for renaming the description for "Leica" forum:
"Inventors of the small frame (today known as the "full frame") photography, and autofocus."
I kind of knew that Barnack didn't exactly invent 35mm film frame. But it's a common myth and if people wanted quirkiness, then there it is.Both of the above are urban myths.
{Takes a look.... } Ummm.... I'm not sure. That might be on me, I think at one time the M4/3 stuff may have been under the "Alternative" grouping and I moved it out but missed adding a corresponding 'Showcase' child forum. On the To Do list.M4/3 doesn't have a showcase sub forum, is that because Amin also had the m4/3 forum and it wasn't merged here? I'm not 100% sure we need one, but since that's what I mainly shoot it's something I've noticed.
Others can chime in with their feelings but I think the 'showcase' forums started out with the intent of highlighting a particular gear item, such as examples of a particular lens combination or a particular feature, but they ended up being used for that purpose and as a general catch-all for images taken with a particular brand. Likely several of the 'Showcase' threads could be closed with new threads/posts being watched so that the general type posts are posted instead to the Gallery forums. A thread of "Here's some tiki idol shots I took with a Canon" should be over in the Gallery forums while a more specific thread of "Here's some sample images I took with the Canon EFS 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS II lens with dark wood grain subjects" would be better suited for the Showcase forums. Maybe "Showcase" isn't the best word for them? As the Showcase threads go back several years and from several different source original sites it can't be a hard-rule and enforced Draconian style but more a gentle push that new threads/posts should be considered for the Gallery forums first instead of the Showcase & Gear forums.The Fuji showcase sub forum could used some clean up if it's really suppose to be just lens sample images. There are duplicates, the 18-55 f/2.8-4 and 50-140 f/2.8 each have 2 showcase threads in the first 3 pages. There are discussion threads and genres threads that should be in the main Fuji forum or in one of the other gallery forums. In Fuji's case (and others if applicable) I would be tempted to leave the simulation showcases.
I think it's just a matter of popularity; the Fuji lines have a lot of fans at the moment.Is Fuji the only system that seems to be generating the news and rumors threads or is that just my perception?
I'll go back and re-read the list later today but you can either post them here or use the "report" button. If I don't catch it then one of the other mods will. You can also start a new thread in the 'feedback' forum so that it doesn't get lost in a big thread like this.If I have suggestions about thread relocations should I report them here, or use the "report" button that goes to moderators?
I think it's more a matter of popularity "here" and that many of the members here are also members of MU-43, NikonCafe, TalkeMount, etc; while the Fuji and Leica sites were merged into here.....I think it's just a matter of popularity; the Fuji lines have a lot of fans at the moment.....
I've moved a couple of the most obvious candidates from "Other Genres" to "Color" (single colour or general colour themed threads), leaving redirects in the "Other Genres" section; I think that's a continuation of what Kevin had started earlier. If anything really offensive turns up, it can certainly be addressed - but I don't see any pressing matters.Eliminate Herman's Genres dedicated forum - As mentioned, Herman has not been an active member for quite some time and the threads can be moved into their more subject specific counterparts.
