You've got to admit that was a pretty funny exchange the forum had a little while ago. Is that what you're referring to, shutterdancer?

How long do you predict that this will function properly or are you only interested in this for the short term, in a couple of years with 5000+ members do you really think that it will work the way it is now, I don't think soPete

Maybe I'm missing the point....but if you can't have fun with it....then why bother....I don't mean that you can be profane or racist or down right rude, but a little humor, as redundant as it may very well be, isn't hurting anyone.

bmxday....no of course I don't want the forum to fall apart...but neither do I want it to stagnate because everyone is afraid to post for fear that they might be politically incorrect.

Neither do I, but nobody wants the rules to be for grade 1 right, just basic posting rules and structures, have you done something here that your are afraid that will be stopped, the posting of pictures does need some changes, I would like to have different groupings so you can can look and find certain pictures and you don't need to quote how you like a picture by showing it again, right
Pete
BTW right now I can not even post a picture at all

Well I for one will not be censored. If it ever comes to that God forbid, my time here will end.

"Oh no! Orkid ate Gentoo!" Don't worry kids Gentoo's OK see he's floating there on the water. "OH NO! The Leopard Seals ripped his head off!" Don't worry kids he'll grow another one... uh we should probably move the class over to the seahorses now though.

I'm not sure why these 70-200 threads are being closed. Could someone explain?
Maybe I've missed something, but I think even though there have been two sides to the debate there haven't really been any personal attacks. What are the rules for closing a thread? Does having more than 100 posts in a day automatically mean it should be closed because it's such a hot topic? Or even if the posts start to sound repetitive, is that reason enough to close it? I stopped reading the 70-200 one because I thought everyone had pretty much had their say, but leaving it open doesn't mean anyone -has- to read it. I think unless someone is really getting offensive (and I mean personally offensive, not just attacking someone's idea or attacking Nikon which are both entirely different beasts), the threads should stay and they should stay open.

I just posted a response from Nikon about the 70-200 II issue. The thread was quickly locked. For a moment I was annoyed, but then I thought, "what else is there to say?"
Locking the thread was probably a good idea and the info is what it is.
If you want to see real censoring, try Nikongear. That site will put a hit out on anyone being "mean" to Nikon!

Agree... I'm on the fence about which 70-200 to get. I'd prefer to keep as many of these going just to gather as much information as possible. I'm still waiting on a comprehensive analysis of the focus breathing at various distances. Something like
10 Feet = 135mm
15 Feet = 150mm
20 Feet = 175mm
25 Feet = 190mmThe information on the web is so varied right now that I keep seeing different numbers.
