Glad the site is still here

kai

After FX Guru
I was scared for a bit this morning... errors, "account suspendeds", etc...

I wouldn't know what to do with myself! ;)
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

Howdy from Texas,

Sorry, but that was the opinion of *one* person. Although that person is a volunteer moderator, he is not involved with the site in any other capacity and does not speak for DV Info.

I do speak for DV Info, and wish you guys nothing but success, which you already have in spades. Just to make things clear. Keep up the excellent work, this is a top-notch community here. Thanks,

Re: Glad the site is still here

Thanks Chris.

That was insane to even think about shutting this place down.

I love this palce as well as the sense of community and mellow attitudes. I like dvinfo for the INFO, but this place feels more like home!
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

DVInfo is a great site, definitely one of the best. Offers a wonderful variety of information, I usually try to keep up with four or five of the forums there. Some excellent experts and great information is available.

But as someone else said, DVXUser just feels like "home". It's tightly focused on just this one camera and its users, and that's why I like it.

There's plenty of room for both.
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

Hey Chris.. sorry I thought he was an employee of yours, By the way he was offering some sort of "Deal" and "Sucess" if I came over and joined the Dark Side.. err actually probally the Light side. I think his statement "what forum do you like the best/Why the hell would you want to goto DVXuser.com" could lead to a very ugly thread..

Anyways, I am sure there is room for both of us, and you can tell Stephen thanks for the offer but DVXuser.com isnt going anywhere. ..
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

Exactly.

Shudder to think, I almost got the XL1. I stumbled across this site via a post from Jarred and never went back.

God, I wouldnt know what to do if I didnt have my lil DVX friend!
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

That guy is just crazy! What's with this sense of competition between community forums? Actually, it sounded more like, "I don't have enough time to look at your site, so make all your posts on my fav site...yeah...and it'll be better for everyone!"

I don't know why, but I feel offended that someone would seriously make such a senseless "demand" such as that.

Well, I guess every forum has a Milkprod :)
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

ha ha.. I gotta be honest.. I really thought the guy was joking untill late in the game.

Oh hell, I don't have any employees... there's a guy who contracts for all the server admin stuff but everybody else over there are all volunteers. Just like it is here, I guess. That statement was made by someone who has a lot of zeal. It really took me by surprise. The *reality* of the situation is that we're all stronger in the long run if we can peacefully co-exist and mutually support each other. It would be pretty damn boring if there was just one place to go, considering how huge the net is and its potential and all. We send people over here all the time. There's a lot of other places that we won't send 'em to. This site ranks pretty damn high in the DV Info world.

Re: Glad the site is still here

and what happens at DVXuser.com stays in DVXuser.com. Or something like that.
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

As far as "that guy" goes, Stephen has always been a very friendly, very helpful type.  He's always worked hard to get answers for people, and gone out of his way to moderate that forum.  He is not, in any way, a "bad guy".  His suggestion may have not been well-received, but hey, please don't anyone hold that against him.  He made a suggestion, and it didn't "stick", so now it's over.  Stephen's one of the original DVX boosters, a great supporter, and he shouldn't be ostracized or anything, let's just please forgive & forget and move on.
 
Re: Glad the site is still here

It's cool Barry.

Sometimes we go with our gut and sometimes that is good or bad. It's over. :D

I think Jarred has put alot of blood and sweat into this for, well, free and for us.

I think Stephen was almost too persistent in his take instead of "Curious".

You are right. It's over and nothing but the spirit of community. It can't always be utopia. :P
