General Discussion / Re: Another forum is going.

Last post by Mick - November 23, 2023, 10:44:38 PM

Mark, very sad the forums are dying like this, but I can understand where the owner of that one is coming from, I mean the hosting costs must be horrendous 240GB of images for the gallery alone plus any other files from the forum software itself. Not good if the ads or sponsors don't cover the costs.

I was worrying when we got to 16GB. lol.. That said I've always paid out of my own pocket apart from the odd donation over the years..

This place was really only here as a place for DCM (Digital Camera Magazine) members to hang out when they shut the doors in 2007. I never really tried to build it up to be honest and it's been on the slippery slope since.

I'll keep the site up while I'm hosting my other sites on the server, I'm just not throwing loads of money at hosting images.

General Discussion / Another forum is going.

Last post by anglefire - November 23, 2023, 08:39:40 PM

Found out today that https://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php is going to close its doors around the end of the year.

Despite being a lot more active than here, the owner has decided he can no longer support it due to lack of traffic.

Sad days that the likes of Facebook are killing proper forums.
