DVXUSER - 10 years this year?

Terry, when would be the 10 year anniversary and is Landmine going to do anything for it? .... It is time for another Fest ain't it? Just sayin'.
 
Sure wish I would have come on board sooner.

What a great forum! Thanks to all those who patiently and generously share their insights!

:)
 
I think i joined sometime in 2005 just after getting my DVX :) And so the passion began.
 
Now if only someone would re-post that "groovy" video of an old band which was labeled with the names of the mods. ;) can't remember the title! I remembered it was a shot of the band playing outdoors.

That was Apache (which I just heard a remix of on some morning show), and the Mods were in it for Barry's 20,000 posts re-edit.

There's a compilation of many of those classic videos here:

EDIT: Never mind. None of those links works anymore.

Jarred and I were members on a forum called 2-pop.com, and the DVX was coming up frequently. It was released in October of 2002 and was really catching people's attention. I was posting a hundred times a day trying to answer every question I could, and Jarred looked at the situation and said -- why don't I make a forum specifically for this camera? And the rest, as they say, is history.

Ten years, a hundred thousand members, probably 20x that many guests, and 2.6 million posts (me being responsible for nearly 50,000 of 'em!). We've fought the 24p vs 60i wars, seen the introduction and flameout of HDV, we're veterans of the war between tape and tapeless, the rise and fall of JVC, the fall and rise of Sony, the CinePorter, we were the birthplace of the Red cinema camera movement (RedUser started here as a subforum of DVXUser, and then was split off into its own forum), we've seen the rise and fall of the 35mm lens adapter (Cinemek, anyone?), the DSLR movement from inception to insane adoption to its current state, we've seen the rise of the large-sensor camera, the complete implosion of the 2/3" broadcast camera market, the YouTube revolution, the conversion from SDTV to HDTV, we've seen codecs go from DV to HDV(1) to HDV(2) to DVCPRO-HD to XDCAM-EX to MPEG4/AVC and MJPG and RedRaw and now a $345 totally-uncompressed recorder... we've held dozens of totally free film festivals and given away literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes, and the founder of DVXUser is now the president (aka "Fire Chief") of Red Digital Cinema.

It's been a hell of a 10 years. :thumbsup:
