The lounge concept, doesn't promote action. It suggests "day's end"! Too much like my life. Forced retirement, waiting for heaven's call.
Please, try to understand. I'm not complaining. Just expressing my thoughts. I'll probably drop by from time to time, but not be very active.
You folks were friendly to me, in a time when I needed it.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Steve,
I don't think this changes the forum. This "PLACE", by whatever name, was never the place where we acted, or took action. It's where we'd come to hang out and say hello and toss ideas and thoughts around when we WEREN'T acting. When I'm out with my camera shooting, I'm diong, taking action, getting something done, working the process. And even when I'm back at my computer processing my shots, I'm doing the same thing, although in a less physically active mode. But I only spend so many hours of the day "out shooting" and I don't do it every day by a long shot. I love the time I do, but life is not all photography. The place, whether a lounge or serious compacts, is the day to come hang out at the end of a day of activity (or non-activity or not even the end of the day), just a place to drop in and say hi to people you know, however virtually. It's the electronic version of the bar some might stop at on the way home from work just to see some friends and joke around or talk about something that's on their minds.
I don't think that changes with the name. I think the name just better reflects what the place has become, organically, over the years. The goals and actions we're each responsible for and never came from a web forum - the web forum is just a place to come by and say hi and talk about what's on your mind. When you're NOT out doing.
I hope you'll reconsider and stay around. Or, if you don't, I hope it's for some reason or combination of reasons well beyond the name change. Because I don't think the name changes the nature of the place...
