MODS - GH2 Section? This page is now 90% GH2 threads - GH1ers are drowning in them!

Jason,

When I joined DVXUser, I didn't even know that it was Panasonic-centric! :) I agree about brand identity - tough to get; easy to lose.

Great work, BTW!

Regards,

Dan.

changing the name of a website that has spent 7 years building an identity under that name, is not something to be taken lightly. names are important, and "dvxuser" is more a "brand name" than it is representative of any one camera.

You'd be surprised how many people join this site nowadays and don't even know what the origin of the "dvx" in dvxuser is... So, let's just say "DVX" in DVXuser stands for "Digital Video Xtreme" User. :evil:

our name is our identity, and a name change can kill your identity in short order if you aren't careful. We once toyed with changing the name to 24puser, but what would we call the fests? 24pfest? that's lame and generic :)

dvxuser is our identity, and a part of our history. It's not camera specific. but it is who we are. Not to say a name change would never happen, but it seems a rather counter-productive thing to do right now, and obviously our name isn't hurting our growth... In fact, we could do with a bit less growth, and more specific focus, to be honest... Trying to be all things to all people is a pretty impossible task (lest you become overly generic). focus is important, as is maintaining a sense of identity and history with our roots.

I agree. Never change it. By all means open a GH2 section though ;)

By the way, is this the biggest international filmmaking forum on the interweb? Seems to be.
 
I came here first as it was the best source of info for the HVX and it's been a great resource that I'd gladly pay for... but don't make it a pay site as I'm Scottish...

Don't worry... we won't... Quite the opposite in fact :) well, we won't pay you to come here, but we'll hopefully making some nice expansion and upgrades to DVXFest, for example. and hopefully will start to roll out some new stuff and web sites that have been in the works throughout next year as well...
