It seems to me that *some* members may be mistakenly appealing for a separate D2 forum as a symbol of the D2's status rather than for the convenience of locating D2 threads and information. We need to be clear about motive and what's best for the forum as a whole, which is Andreas's responsibility as the forum's owner and administrator.

 

Andreas has politely declined to alter the forum's and pointed to alternative methods of easily locating D2 threads so, as his non-paying guests, I suggest that we should gracefully accept his decision rather than to continue to put unnecessary pressure on him.

 

For the record, I have 2 D2s but I have little difficulty in finding D2 threads in the Digital forum and occasionally using the search tool. :)

My last comment on the matter.

 

The Leica Gallery sees fit to create a Leica Masters Gallery for the Digilux series. Hmmm...

 

Regarding forum structure, difficulty etc. With all due respect to Andreas and the work he does, I'm sorry... proclaiming difficulty and extending the structure and other "technical" issues is a moot point. They don't exist. He either wants to do it or doesn't want to do it. Let's not pretend it can't be done or it is difficult to do. That's simply not the case.

 

He's stated he doesn't want it.

If John T. is correct that a separate D2 forum is NOT very difficult to set up and monitor, then I cast a strong YES vote .... (I have no idea what effort that takes)

 

.... but I promise to TAG every topic I originate from now on, either way ;>))

As per usual I totally agree with Dave.

 

btw, check out Andreas' avatar chaps. :):cool:

Add my voice to this chorus. If Andy thinks the D2 is orphaned, then he hasn't owned this sublime camera. If he has, I can't for the life of me understand the use of that term. Mine sits on my desk or night table. I use it almost everyday, far more often than any other camera. More than my DMR, M3, M2, CL, or various R bodies. It is far more attractive to look at than any M8 or M9 and renders a unique signature. It is a monument to design & function....

 

 

Andy can borrow my D2 any time he likes; I will, of course, require a substantial deposit because I know that he will want one after he tries it. ;)

YES a separate forum would be nice.

 

If changing the structure is that difficult, why did the M9 and X1 get a separate forum in the first place?

It was there long before the camera's had any customer base to speak of.

What are they going to do when the M10 comes out?

 

I propose one forum for all Digital M, an other for Digilux, and then one general Digital for the rest. And of course a Digital rumours forum. A lot of the stuff about X1 still belongs there for the moment IMO.

 

Once the X1 has a customer base it should be decided where it goes.

IMHO the X1 belongs in the Digilux forum, price setting seems to point in that direction too.

 

Just my 2c. :)
