Yes, I know. We need to assemble a development team, make a plan and get all those things done. This is the community doing it itself. It's probably slower than having a big corporation behind us, but at least we will together will own the site and that big corporation can't suddenly decide to close it all down.

But some things are really good. I found Threads confusing to start with, but after I had discovered the button. where you can chose to see subscribed threads and so on I think it's great! So easy to see if there are new post in threads you are in.
-
Hear, hear! I'd be happy to chip in to help running costs.

It's working Bob. The closer we get to "D" day the more will join. Looking forward to what this evolves into. Already seeing a lot I know from DPR, so that's a huge bonus from here. Have a good one.

Look at dprevived.com/t/my-thoughts-on-how-this-site-should-work/71/ When I can get the development programme underway I'll concentrate on that side of it. The basic idea is that anyone who makes a contribution gets a stake in deciding how the site runs.

Amazing growth! Let's sort the issues and make this site even better 😊
-
I am a software developer so I could probably be of some assistance
-
It is great that this was set up so quickly and that it is attracting so many members (both old and new). Thanks to everyone who worked to get this done.
-
Something to consider is while DPR had thousands of members the vast majority were not active. All those coming here will be active.
-
One day we will brag about beign in the first 1000.
I like that many, if not most, are keeping their DPR name.
To add : I have about 80 members on ignore at DPR (many were later banned trolls...) would be nice to be able to transfer that list here. (half joking...) -
/Friendly indeed ...
Yes, "Clone" is a little presumptuous.
Just trying a bit of BB code ... enjoy your sleep and keep up the good work, Bob!
-
Thanks a lot Bob for doing this……good to be part of a community with the same interests……thanks again
-
I really appreciate all the efforts that your Bob and the team are making to get this site up and running. this is truly remarkable. what surprises me the most is that many or all of the members want everything to go smoothly at the drop of a hat!
They don't seem to realize that it is a lot of work!
That said I was able to log in and upload a photo! But like a few other members I was unable to register. Keep up the good work guys!

Yes, I am not comfortable with the attitude of the Admin guy there going by his replies to my and some other members' posts there. He seems to run his site along the line "It's my way or the highway".
I tried to close my account there but can't find how, so I posted a thread in Open Talk there asking how to close accounts on his site. Let's see if I get a reply.
Much friendlier and comfortable here :-)

Finally here mate, and my old avatar came out of nowhere again. can finally talk openly again without being stalked by dpr moderators.

and a lot less users (226 up to 29.03.2023 8:40 CEST)

Indeed. Or most of those coming here anyway. DPR didn't remove inactive accounts. I joined early 2000 something when I got my first little digital camera. But I mainly lurked and soon lost interest (camera wasn't what I had hoped for). Then I didn't return until, I think, 2015, My account was till there and I managed to log in.
