Bjørn and me did 20% of the postings 10% each. Wow.

All we (the admin team) did was to relight the candle, the rest is all done by the community :)

We are still baffled how quickly most of the old community came back and how many new members in just 3 months came aboard to enrich our community with new blood.

So from the bottom of my heart; thank you all for making NikonGear great again!!!!
Cheers,
Jan Anne

don't open that can or worms...
All that matters is that the great spirit once existing reigns again.

For my part it ended when I was accused of all sorts of bad behavior online not being allowed to answer or speak freely. A lot of posts where often deleted and history rewritten...

We don't like talking about it publicly because that was part of the divorce agreement but lets say the original founder went a little overboard in an attempt to move the forum in a completely different direction, during this process he openly parted with some of his admins (like Andrea), partner (Bjørn) and early members (like Erik) while chasing away most of the community, in the meantime he kept asking for money to fund the changes almost nobody wanted.

But as evolution usually goes; a strong community overcomes any challenge, adapts and moves on....
Cheers,
Jan Anne

Had to imagine an administrator/founder/photographer knowingly offend so many talented photogs and what I can tell, good-hearted, people.

Hmmm... surprising Frank. Had you asked me to guess, I would have said 75% by you...  ;D   

Congrats!

Dallas is a nice chap but unlike me he does not seem to know that he has flaws* and that is not good in a position with control. He does work against his own interests. Most of the time. It is tragic.

Rather than looking back, I'm happy to enjoy what the team here have created and look forward to what's yet to come.

And it's great seeing new people, who are already adding to the richness and diversity of images and knowledge now available.

So if you know other fellow enthusiasts who might be interested in coming aboard, spread the word!
