carstenw Posted September 30, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, now that AFRika is a historical term, how about renaming the forum to just "Leica S2 Forum"? And deleting this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Hi carstenw, Take a look here Rename S2 forum?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 30, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2008 I 2nd the request. Any thirds. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterv Posted September 30, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Carsten, I agree, Codename AFRica is confusing. And it will be even more so in a couple of weeks when people who are interested in the S2 will do a search or Google Leica S2... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 30, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2008 Or how about "Digital SLR" so that it can accommodate the R10. And while we're at it, perhaps the M8 forum should be renamed "Digital Rangefinder" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted September 30, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 30, 2008 Fully agree. 'Codename AFRika' never had any relevance for this International Forum. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 30, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 30, 2008 My only reservation is that I thought that AFRIKA incorporates more than just the S2? Does it not also spawn the R10? I think Steve has the best idea. I think these one-model ghettos have their uses, but are un-necessarily devisive overall. Having DSLR and DRF fora "future proofs" the structure, and allows for the R10, M8.2 and M9 without further splintering. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted October 1, 2008 Then this forum should be named "Digital MF" I suppose... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted October 1, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 1, 2008 Leaving out the "Africa / Afrika" part is OK for me. But I want to leave it close to the product name as it's relevant for our Google ranking: People are searching for LEICA S2 and not for "LEICA MF" or digital SLR. OK? Best regards Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 1, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 1, 2008 Andreas, it's your forum. It can be called "Leica S2 - Andreas is a cool dude" if that's what you want <grin>. I understand why you want the hits on Google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted October 1, 2008 How about: Digital RF (M8) Digital SLR (Digilux 3, DMR) Digital MF (S2) Each of these doesn't need Leica in the name, since there is Leica many times on every page, and in all page titles. The short names allow the addition of new ones with time, as in the Digilux 3/DMR example. Leica moves slowly, so they should stay manageable.

Best regards Andreas Agreed Andreas. DSLR would be too 'wide' (and no doubt would soon clog up with Digilux 3 posts from the 4/3rds apologists, give them their own sub forum I say:) ) I'd vote for S2.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted October 1, 2008 Share #15 Posted October 1, 2008 For google searches you want Leica S2. On my place we don't have that and it will not come up in a google search . It actually the way we are setup just in the MF section. But we are not a specific camera brand like LUF is. It makes much more sense for that naming here than us for example because we are not labeled a brand specific forum. Leica S2 is really what you want here.
