It is obvious that the owners of this once great forums have more important priorities than this site. Priorities change as we go through life, I understand that perfectly. Having said that though, I would have hoped that at the very least that the owner(s) of this site would have asked for volunteers that have the knowledge to run this site and keep it going.
Looks like it's not going to happen.
There seem to be plenty of guests perusing this site daily, but doubt seriously that anyone would sign on to become a member of a photographic forum site that hasn't been updated in well over 2 years.
I know I wouldn't.
