Top 10 reasons RFF rocks ....

[bmattock]

Ah. Real-life SCTV, then 😉

No, that's my day job. But more like "Fernwood Tonight."

But seriously, the wife will only let me watch people fixing houses or people cooking food. And she won't let me watch the food channel anymore when Rachel Ray is on ever since I said she had a 'major-league set of yabbos' or something like that.

Sometimes if I'm good, she let's me watch American Chopper.

This is an official "no-hate" zone. Very rare on the net these days.

 

[raid]

I may break out into "Kumbayah" any second now. :dance:

I don't think I have ever used the banging head before and couldn't resist at a series of banging heads! Kumbayah Kumbayah ... what a great forum we have.

In light of a few members' recent decision to commit virtual suicide and leave RFF ... here are the reasons why it is worth staying and making our "pub" different.

I'll start with number 1 ;-)

Poor guy just wanted to thank another member for a great lens.

Just to set the record straight... that's a DIFFERENT Ray 😉

10) when some one attacks you, the moderator steps in
(9) lots of good info
(8) good answers for questions posted
(7) members don't carry a chip on their shoulders
(6) many members actually take pics
(5) members actually post decent pics (instead of garbage)
(4) almost no fighting
(3) it's something to do...
(2) and you won't be called a troll for it
(1) it's the best photo site on the planet, but missing an SLR forum

But not even in Giada De lauraentes league

Number 11? "Camera and Coffee"

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Number 12: "What are you listening at the moment?"

Where's Dave, btw?

This is a much more civil--and courteous-- forum. And I for one am thankful!
Thanks all.

I know your intentions were good but bringing arguments and linking to bad threads on another forum is a recipe for disaster. The last thing we need in light of recent events is a bunch of folks from another forum jumping on this just to make noise and defend the undefendable. My rule for using this forum is to keep it posative and I try as hard as it is not to comment when I believe no good will come from it.

Because I can ask if anyone has ever heard of a Norwood Director light meter and expect several yes's and a few I have one

 

[ray_g]

Because it's a place "where everybody knows your name."

And several will tell you how to adjust it and offer to re-cover it in pink lizard skin 😀

Rachel Ray is a native of Lake Luzerne, NY where she still has a house only a stones throw from Warrensburg where I am now. How did I miss her??? She very recently got married. There is a raging rainstorm outside right now. Tomorrow if the weather clears up, back to NYC where I await a Voigtlander Vito and Agfaflex very recently won on E-b*y. Problem is I remember these cameras in store windows in Germany when they were new and I was young.

I'll have to echo the "everyone gets it" reason. Almost no one I know in person, will do any thing but get glassy eyed and star edging towards the exit if I start talking about cameras/photography. A few of them pretend pretty well but it's mostly a case of "you're my friend and I like you in spite of this obsession."

[brightsky]

There is no anger here.

Just genuine rangefinder enthusiasts who unselfishly share information.

It's a recipe for a fantastic forum.

And it is.

I'm relatively new here, but I have to echo what many have already said. A terrifically friendly and helpful group of people here! And wow, I can't believe that I am reading about Rachel Ray and Giada De L... here! I am a Food Network fanatic!!

We all have to eat and if you can work a darkroom you can work a kitchen. Now if Rachel was here to help me............She is only 10 miles away when she is not working.
