lre forum: I would like to express my ideas here about the lre forum going down. I think this was allways a matter of time. The problem is that the forum did expres different ideas than the mag. The forum was slagging off advertisers, billing and the mag itself.
So there were 2 schools of thought under 1 banner. This is not acceptable in public, so one had to go. As the mag is making money and the forum is not, the forum went down.
We can call LRE what we like, but does anyone out there think the other LR mags are any better? I dont think so, and If I were in charge of LRE, I would have done the same thing. The only thing you could say is that they could have tried harder to end it on good terms with everybody.
I am subscribed to LRO, but only to stay informed about news, and because they are the biggest mag, the news will always appear first there. I am not impressed with their stories though.
I am glad there is an independent forum now, because if someone gets ripped of or has bad experience with a product, I still want to know. So I think well done to the moderators of this forum, and I suggest from now on to look forward and not back.
