Ive been coming here for 15 years. I started out in the Minolta forum, then went to the Konica Minolta forum.\ and the to the Sony Alpha forum.

This forum was a hot bed of activity with , at times a record 100 new threads in 24 hours. We even maxed out the post count in a single thread , which was/ is 150 post before the thread is locked.

I always felt it important to respond to peoples threads and post in an effort to keep the forum alive. even with so much activity in the past.

It saddens me to see a once thriving community go almost lights out. I think Ive always felt that way about any forum I participate in. I'm always interested in the people behind the cameras, where they live and what is their world like. I find lots of topics within the photographic frame work to share photos and offer content about the shot, how it was captures etc.

My point is, it seems Ive been alone, for the most part in trying to keep these older forums alive. I know Minolta and Konica are no more but many of us have a lot of this gear, or have had history with the Minolta and Konica brand.

Like this Post, I'm just adding some content to this particular forum in the hope some might jump on board.

Not looking for arguments or a reality check. Most would blow by this post because it is too long. Ive always been an internet motor mouth.

Seriously?

I was coming back to this forum to be an avid participant when I was tossed sideways by your criticism over the use of a "buck" as describing what we paid for our cameras some 18 years ago.

I then realized why I and others quit applying any input here.

Your outright exchange here is why I could careless about posting here anymore;
