well I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like this - we'd love to have everyone post in the Renegades forum! In fact, we've really wanted that from the start - in whichever forum.
As Bryan mentioned, this photosharing forum was originally created to split posting of pictures from more technical discussion of Minolta cameras.
I personally wouldn't mind where we had our little community meet up, but unless anyone else feels strongly about it, I think we can spare Bryan the bandwidth and use the bandwidth available in the Renegades forum.
Bryan's technical forum gets loads more hits and has gone over limit on occasion, so it must be more of an issue for him. And besides, the bandwidth is sitting there waiting to be used, so why not make use of it?
Remember, the Renegades forum is open for sharing photos and discussion of ANY camera: digital or otherwise, and not just for DSLR's. I myself have recently bought a little 3mp Canon point and shoot and have posted some of the pictures and I don't own a DSLR, but still have and enjoy my 7Hi. We've had film photos (scanned obviously!) displayed as well - great!
As Bryan said, I don't think it should be necessary to delete this forum, then we'd not be able to view old threads and admire pictures taken and posted before.
But if Bryan had the time and felt like doing it - it might be usefull to have a link to the Renegades directly from the header of this forum - with a line or 2 to say that this one will no longer be used? That way no-one will come here and post only to get no reaction - and they'll know where to find all their old friends. Just a suggestion!
Anyway, lets get back to enjoying sharing our pictures and photography experiences!
