LFPF: Support Personae

Posted on Posted in da net, the foraTagged ,

(this is part of the articles on fora persons – who quits, who stays – what do they achieve)

Forums are populated by people in search. Support groups attract people needing support. Large Format Photography Forum has a few very dedicated members that provide a good indicator of types of people who consider themselves dedicated, having answers, being creative, probably consider themselves caring. Each group, in particular, those groups that have a position that is in decline within the large Real World, dedicate themselves to demonstrating the methods and modes of their path. LFPF holds a stated goal of “encouraging and enlarging” the use of large format photography.

 

Randy Moe …

“I dropped out at $20…”

why would this be important to him? Maybe it maintains support of his personae, support for his avatar presentation to the members of the bachelor herd. He is poor. Please help me. Thanks for the freebies.

Oh, maybe: ‘smart people don’t overspend, they make or make do.’

//BUT DID HE?

They don’t gain knowledge… I am not on the forums; they serve only as research subject for me. The knowledge they distribute is conjecture and opinion… most of it not even from proficient or productive practitioners.

anyone with access to a community college library has access to more ideas about art, and more instruction in technique of photography

Oh, I was the one with the formula for Kodak Retouching fluid that “smelled right” …randyElixir

The Secret Ingredient == staybellite ester #10

How do I know? Easy, I used to make and sell retouching chemicals…

Forum Activity

Posted on Posted in Carp Fishing, M&Ms, the foraTagged

the first Social Networks, before the grand IPOs, were specialty bulletin boards started & run by technicians for hobbyists; often their hobby.

The remaining active boards are self monitored, well segregated groups that are subject to changes in habits. What they do, mainly, is talk among themselves about “dog house” issues. The most frequent posters are most active over social matters; this is the reason that the social network sites have grown so large, so quickly, and will probably take over the conversations conducted by the “old boards.”

Recent update: scans at 7AM, & 7PM for a week produced these average values for 2 boards; the one dedicated to a self described ‘elite’ photographer’s niche; the other is a digital focused board which serves the high density MFDB hobbyists.

FILM BOARD: Members 34,219 Active Members 3,192  16 posters 11 threads

DIGITAL BOARD: Members 5,470  282 users online. 34 members and 248 guests  29 posters 7 threads

The large format forum prides itself on a “large active” membership, while actually few, very few members post. They also post most actively on the “dog house” threads. Topics about themselves, or about non-photography topics — something everyone is prepared to provide an opinion about.

The smaller digital board heats up mainly during product announcements, otherwise its active threads are over shared imagery. Most of the responses to the pictures mimic those of the Film Boarders — “nice” “well done” “great lens” “what type of ” “where is that at”
