RE: lack of pinhole images on photosig

Gregg,

Personally, I would prefer a forum type of format, since I have the list set
up on my work email, and can not access it from home(yet). Plus, it would be
easier to search archived discussions, and view people's profiles to contact
them off-list if necessary. The forum model links the creator and
contributors to the discussion in an easy to follow manner, IMHO.

I agree with you George. I was curious and took a look at
www.photosig.com. Its a very impressive site, perfect for a photo
community. I try to keep up with the direction things take on the web and
I think the photosig site may well be a milestone in this type of
community. It combines discussion and image viewing very nicely. I have
written to Willis Boyce, the developer of the site to see if he would
consider sharing his code. He uses the same programming language I use on
the Pinhole Visions site, so it would be easy to implement a similar site
for the discussion list if he is agreeable. If not, then I am considering
doing something somewhat similar myself. This will take a while, but it
fits in with the direction I have wanted to take things for some time -
combining a "forum" with an on-line "gallery". The "forum" by itself did
not go over well this past year, but I think it might be used more if
combined directly with the gallery. What I would set up would require
members to "register" (the same as the discussion list) before posting
images or in the forum (in order to keep down the spammers, etc.), but
anyone could view images and postings. I would be interested in other's
thoughts about this.
