Digital BW, The Print

>> I would love some feedback from the members here as to what you would
>> like to see within the forum. What categories are important ? Etc

I like the idea to be able to browse different sections in a php based
"real" forum. For example to focus on sections about:

- Paper issues
- Real neutral printing topics
- Sepia, blueish and other tonal printing techniques
- Longivity of prints
- Handling continuous ink flow systems (what if it stands idle for 2 weeks)
- Exhibitions and large format issues
- Art talk about modern black and white photography
- Tutorials and how-to's submitted by members

 etc.

On the other hand I can understand that the email system as for now kinda
"forces" me to keep in touch. A web based forum which requires a visit might
get neglected...

My opinion, so sum it up, goes for a "real" forum. I also like the visual
eye candy of avatars - not a bad thing since this forum is all about
visuals.

Smilies in all forms and shapes will help the more emotional artists and
photographers here to communicate their "views" better.

And after all, let's not forget the possibility to put pictures and graphs
into an (html) posting!

Isn't it technically possible to have both - a mirror of an php based forum
that is sent out as email list?
