I noticed that Nikon forums have updated proper names, even with regards of not-yet-officially-released cameras!

But, in the description of the Pentax Forum, it still goes, "... such as the K and *ist D series."

I mean, c'mon?! How many years it's been since *ist D, and how many DSLR models since? And Nikon's forum has yet-unreleased camera name in it!

The Pentax base is not big enough to segment into smaller sub-units, or to to be overly specific. Are you finding there to be too much traffic to follow?

I don't think that the OP is suggesting segmentation into smaller sub-units, just that we should include the names of current or recent cameras.

Seems like a good idea, and makes sense to me.

The OP was about the forum name(s), not post titles. Do we include all models or only recent models in this forum?  I see enough posts about older models that we should not to be exclusive.  And if we exclude older models then where to they go, except marginalized "other" forums.

Main point... I still do not see see the point given that the traffic here is not overwhelming, in fact some would say underwhelming.  Changing the name to only include recent models will not increase traffic.
