Shoot more than just Pentax? Here's a new site for you!

Rupert, are you all maxed out here?

Yes...in the Photo Gallery, I still have Album space. It's no deal killer, but I used to love to post my shots there and also browse what others posted, there are some great shots over there, I miss it!

Regards!

I've gone ahead and doubled the gallery limits for site supporters and loyal site supporters (250 -> 500, 500 -> 1000 photos respectively). Enjoy!

For this, I expect Otis to make an appearance on the new site as well!

Adam · 01-17-2012, 06:10 AM

And we're live- enjoy!

still awaiting a confirmation email for account creation...

Also, how do I post a photo for my name?

signed up too, no email yet either . Will spend some time there tonight probably

Site looks good though Adam.

Swift1 · 01-17-2012, 10:07 AM

Thanks Adam!
Looks like it could be a great forum.
Site looks very nice.

tuco · 01-17-2012, 11:17 AM

The new site sounds much like the current PF already is.

Adam · 01-17-2012, 09:49 PM

Day one- over 1000 members, 1000 posts, and almost 1000 images- more than I could ever hope for! Guess you guys really like the new forum software and the atmosphere

Jonathan Mac · 01-18-2012, 12:54 AM

I've signed up too. I saw there are a LOT of forums, including ones for different brands. I hope the that doesn't lead to a lot of fanboyism & trolls such as seen on a certain other non-Pentax-specific photography site.

**Ash** · 01-18-2012, 01:39 AM

Well done Adam.
Good work with it.
Looks good so far.

eddie1960 · 01-18-2012, 07:23 AM

It's great Adam, been spending some time getting a feel for it, now the issue is how will I ever get any work done

Certainly there are a number of people from here getting it started so it feels like home minus the P&R

And I see a number of non Pentax people appearing. I like that so far the focus seems entirely on Photography and Technique with little of the gear head nature that can develop

I joined yesterday but haven't had any time to look at it yet. However this would be refreshing to say the least.

I should be more specific there seems to be far less angst about what's coming what's discontinued and why FF has to exist (given it covers all makers FF does exist lol)
No whining about where is the roadmap, the kr is discontinued pentax is doomed .....blah blah. I get caught up in those threads arguing how idiotic the worries are I should just avoid them

Arpe · 01-18-2012, 01:32 PM

Here I was clicking on it on the 17th with no luck, then I remembered - you guys are about 18 hours behind the times!!

**monochrome** · 01-18-2012, 01:47 PM

What's really fun about the site is number of members posting that we don't see so often here any more.
