(Particularly fond of the dirt cheap club...)

The dirt cheap club is similar to the off-brand club. Usually the off-brands are dirt cheap.

I'm not saying we should get rid of said clubs...it's a forum and we can organize the posts however people like to post them. But the points made that the threads are though to wade through are valid...I mean how the Takumar club is a big club. There are a lot of lenses. Tamron is an entire company!!! Third Party lens club...that's every lens in the world that isn't a pentax. eep. I'm not ripping on the clubs, just noting a curious way that we chose to interact with one another!

It isn't as though anyone is grabbing you by the arm and forcibly dragging you through them, you know. If they don't appeal to you, don't click on them. There are sections of the site and some threads which hold no appeal for me, and I just skip right past them.

Oh come now...no need for foolishness, we all know how forums work. I haven't clicked on a club threads in ages, I just see posts all the time and think "Gosh it would be nice to have some real structure."

I remember some of the early posts referring to a little friendly "inter-club" competition, urging people to get out and post to get more views than another club. Kind of neat actually. If there were a club forum it would be neat to have little club rivalries..."gangs" you might call them...lol. I'd be a member of the Super-Multi-Coats!

Club forum..yup. That's my vote.

Unless the off-brand is a new Jupiter-9 (now over $250 USD and climbing...)

Not "one". There are enough of us that perhaps we could start a Club Starters' Club.
