Originally posted by twitch A lot of the "whiners" are actually long time contributors who have years worth of helpful posts and some pretty good pics on this forum, so the "don't let the door hit you on the way out" kind of attitude is ... well I don't know the right word but it seems the community here would be poorer if all the people calling for, or already purchased, FF took your advice and left with all their knowledge along with it. Don't you think?
IMO,
The problem is that many have become turncoats who would take good photos whatever camera they are using, influencing (or trying) others that Pentax is bad and whatever brand they use now is 'good' (and takes better photos).
Not only that, their former contributions were great, but their current ones are no more than trouble making/whining.
Good photographers go as well as come on any forum (or switch brands).
If I did it, at least I'd have the courtesy not to 'stir shit' in the former brand's forum.
