How about an ojo forum?

I remember asking for 'Sport' a while back. Voted for the smut though.

I don't think i like the idea of a smut forum really as far as i'm concerned it was only funny between friends. A smut forum would actually make me rethink my membership here.
As Dee said i don't think there is enough uptake for a photography forum just yet, maybe in the future we can add a sub-forum in audio/visual.

I do think a sport forum would be good though, as we have our gym bunnies and our football lovers we can lock them in there to let the unhealthy folk feel better

Agree with my northern chum, no thanks to a smut forum and I think sports would be good for that that want it.

I agree with the others. I don't think theres a strong enough photography group here. Thats not to say there isn't any photographers or people looking to get into it. I don't think anyone's really posted anything here for a long time.

^^^ Not since you introduced me to TP

tbh I dont because there ISNT a photography forum. Since stopping OCUK, I've not been as photographic because I dont feel theres a place for me to really talk about it in the odd spare minute I have.
I think a photography forum, or at least one with some link to photography would help me (personally and selfishly). Somewhere I could be proud to show off one shot I thought went well or worked. Of course it wouldn't pretend to be a professional discussion place, but one for n00bs like myself I'd like..

I'd never get myself into a dedicated website for photographers because quite frankly I dont think I'd be taken seriously and would feel I'm wasting peoples time with my sporadic and sub standard attempts. I'd much rather discuss them informally with a group of people who know who I am.

In the nicest possible way, you would actually fit in. I'm trying to be very careful with my words here

TP is mostly filled with amatuer photographers posting everything from birds to bees to cars to flowers and such. Its a solid forum for a newbie to join and get advice on things. But I can understand that you would prefer to post here amongst friends.

If one is made I'm all for it. I felt that there wasn't enough people to really make use of it, at least posting photos here. I know there are people into photography here so I'd pimp out Talk Photography because of the like minded atmosphere.

Just to make a point clear though, I'm not currently active on TP so even though it may seem like I've been pimping it I'm not. It doesn't currently feel like my photo home right now. So if a photo forum was made here I would be supportive of it, if there's a big enough crowd who'll use it.

I'm with Pickers (and Kitten). While I know it was my own insecurities and not anything anyone else did (and certainly no insult to anyone here), I felt like I was getting shot down even on OcUK by those who spend hours (and thousands) on their 'habit'. As a result, I'd certainly not join anywhere like TP. I'll be honest and say I'm not even sure I'd post pictures here, but it's more likely than anywhere else.

I've come off the fence btw. My view is that there's no harm in trying new fora of whatever form the membership decides (within reason). If they don't work, it's a quick and easy task to move everything back and pretend it never happened. While I know it was only tongue-in-cheek, I would draw a line at frivolous stuff. Smut is one of those things that's great in small doses but soon wears out if overused.
