Advertisement Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Hi abrewer, Take a look here Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael-IIIf Posted September 27, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2006 "No, cars should continue to be posted in the Sports & Leisure subsection" Otherwise there'd be nothing in the Sports & Leisure section Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 27, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 27, 2006 No, otherwise why not have a seperate sub-forums for mountain landscapes and lake landscapes - or seascapes for that matter - in the landscape and travel forum. The average quality of the car images here isn't that high, but there are exceptions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 27, 2006 allan hi.... i know u moderators have this tendency and reasoning behind making more sections and subsections on the forum.... but honestly - it is a bit annoying (at least for me). i get a sneack into the forum... wanna see this and that and those jumps from sections subsections are simply anoing :-))) so many time i just give up to see something this time (may be later).... it works pretty good as it is now in my opinion. and allan, and others like andy... if u have more shots with the lotus cars (new cars, old cars) please post it - im really getting exited :-))))))))) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 27, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 27, 2006 and allan, and others like andy... if u have more shots with the lotus cars (new cars, old cars) please post it - im really getting exited :-))))))))) Sorry, Vic. My days of shooting cars are over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddp Posted September 27, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 27, 2006 I say leave it as is....my analog brain is already confused enough with the way the digital part of the forum has been divvied up, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted September 28, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) love the cars. I vote NO despite the fact that I would like to see more vintage shots, as opposed to new shots of vintage cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted September 28, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 28, 2006 I'm for leaving it as it is, I find it difficult enough figuring the correct threads for posting already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 28, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2006 Personally, I'd get rid of all the categories. Why do we need to say what cubbyhole our photos fit into? All this does is compartmentalize our thinking. A picture is a picture is a picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted September 30, 2006 Personally, I'd get rid of all the categories. Why do we need to say what cubbyhole our photos fit into? All this does is compartmentalize our thinking. A picture is a picture is a picture. LOL! Well, that's kind of beyond the scope of the proposal under consideration here, Brent...but I'll take it to Andreas and see what he says! If he starts muttering about "damned Madison liberal anarchists" I guess we'll have an answer! Thanks. Allan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uulrich Posted September 30, 2006 Share #11 Posted September 30, 2006 IMO the reason for this poll are meanwhile long forgotten bulk postings of car trader like pix in S&L; meanwhile the traffic has boiled down to a manageable level. Personally, I like looking into the S&L section. I look who posted, then I move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted October 2, 2006 Share #12 Posted October 2, 2006 LOL! Well, that's kind of beyond the scope of the proposal under consideration here, Brent...but I'll take it to Andreas and see what he says! If he starts muttering about "damned Madison liberal anarchists" I guess we'll have an answer! Thanks. Allan I would be totally flattered. Seriously, though, check out the Shutterfreaks forum (ShutterFreaks™ - Viewing a list of posts) They have no categories in the "Share Your Photos" column, but you can generally tell from the titles what the photos are going to be. One of the problems with putting our photos into categories is that some work never gets seen. I think by the time a lot of viewers get through the first three or four categories, they get saturated and never get into the "Other," threads. Or, thinking they aren't interested in certain subject matter, people might just completely ignore entire areas. Not categorizing the photos would lead to a lot more images being seen, in my opinion.

abrewer Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted October 4, 2006 Nicely argued and quite convincing, Brent. I'll definately make Andreas aware. Thank you for the suggestion. Poll closes in twentyfour hours. Vote now please. Thanks. Allan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted October 4, 2006 Share #14 Posted October 4, 2006 OK, now I am aware I have a third suggestion: Changing the title of the sports section to "Cars, sport and leisure" or something like that. BTW.: The temporary M8 section is gone and the postings are transferred to the digital section. Regards Andreas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted October 4, 2006 Share #15 Posted October 4, 2006 Very evenly divided, so far. I really don't have any strong feeling on the issue. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEd Posted October 6, 2006 Share #16 Posted October 6, 2006 We can have a "cars" section. If it doesn't work out, it can always be removed, deleted, or whatever. No big deal. That's my 2 cents. Ed. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted October 6, 2006 Share #17 Posted October 6, 2006 So; poll is closed. We voted for a separate automobile forum. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted October 8, 2006 Share #18 Posted October 8, 2006 Dear all, sorry - 1% of members and such a close result are not really representative. But beside renaming the sports forum I have another new feature that could help: Tags. I indexed the forum last night and amongst the 50 top results where "cars" and - surprise - "ogp". Take a look: http://www.leica-camera-user.com/tags/index.php/ogp/ http://www.leica-camera-user.com/tags/index.php/cars/ Regards Andreas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
