Agreed. 100%. It'll keep going as long as people are prepared to give and take. I think we've all seen the benefits of it so far from people reposting work that's taken into account criticism offered by the group, so there's no doubt about that!

I strongly believe that the group is alive and kicking. I also feel that some members contribute more to it than others for whatever reason. Also, there could be any number of reasons why a particular image doesn't get so many comments or critiques. For that reason, I don't think it's justified to claim that the group is dead just because you've had a few less comments recently.

I couldn't agree more. It would be useful if people would be more explicit about this.

Hi,

Don't know if you're aware but it appears that the current member list in the first post has been somewhat truncated (or so it seems to me)... :unsure:

I'm not not bringing this up because my username begins with a "W" --- honest...!

Ant.

I would very much like to join too, please. I'm new to all this, so I'm really up for helpful criticism! :-)

Thanks, Ant.
