Last week's MRI showed that I now have discitis and it may be a new infection.
Nonetheless, you guys and this site have been the best medicine for me.
I say this not for any other reason than I love this site. I love posting pics, and commenting on your pics. Everyone here has been really great. I would hate to see it fall because people are getting offended or offensive. It is an extremely fun outlet for me as it is for you, I am sure.
Maybe it was "cooler" before I joined; I don't claim to know what it was like then, but I love it today. I consider all you guys and gals my pals. I have my wife and family read the comments you guys give me. It's great.
We all love Joes. Where/ when else could we associate with a world-wide community about our distinct hobby than here. Thanks for doing what you do.
I think nearly all of us are adults. We have homes, jobs, kids etc. Hobbies always take a back seat to our lives. In my opinion, we should not criticize each other when we don't have time to contribute. Everyone should be welcomed at any time.

Well said A.C.!

Thanks Hammerfell! The issue is annoying because in all the time I've been coming here there have not been to many technical problems. BTW if you ever get bored come on back to the fighting 1:18th!

Huh. I have been cheerfully oblivious, where any drama is concerned; I hope and assume I haven't unwittingly contributed to it.

Just to be safe:

To all my friends at JoeDios:

If I've ever said I hate you because you're talented, I was kidding; you're not talented at all.

Seriously, though, I too post more seldom these days because of the thumbnail issue; I wait until my previous photo is gone from the photos page of thumbnails before I post another. For what it's worth, I haven't been receiving e-mail notification or replies for a year or so, either.

But yeah, the place has been quiet. I just assumed that the collective interest had waned; it happens. JBL is a ghost town, for example. If anything, HISS Tank is almost too active for me to keep up with, but I'm grateful it's there.

I'll always be grateful for this site. Honestly, it's nowhere near as snarky as it was four or five years ago, in my opinion. Admittedly, I am almost never on the forums; perhaps that's where the drama unfolds?

This^^^^^^^^ is what I do too.

You want to leave... leave. I was here all Gung Ho as the rest at first but when the site crashed I like many others split over to flickr mainly cause Craig was there. Now IMHO most of the talented folk who take time to set up their shots, lighting, posing etc. are over there. I pop in from time to time post a shot or two but that's it

FORUMS = DRAMA ;)

I, like many others, have been put off by the thumbnail issue and it's kept me from posting pics as often as I'd like.

Still, I must say that this is one of the better Joe sites of which I've had the pleasure of being a member. I will continue to post pics and enjoy the great shots you guys share with us.
