Things seem to be working pretty well... a) I've noticed up-ticks in the Forum participation whenever the mods (or designated flunkies) make a conscious effort to weed through the Gallery and make comments encouraging folks to stop by the Forum. This practice seems to work. b) The Forum posts are quite fleeting. Fifteen minutes of fame at most. The "Search" does work, but not sure most folks use it. I've been trying to think of a FAQ, or some way to cross-reference the threads, but have not come up with anything illuminating. Ideas? c) The people that stay here seem to like it here. Some that have gone off... well, just as well. There have been several valuable contributors though that have dissapeared. Not sure if the mods can send them a note to find out why? d) I sense that some folks here, while not exactly wanting to be professional photographers, would like to start getting a little income from their addiction. A Resource column??? e) Cat of the Month Contest!
