[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 16236, member: 1573"] The most heated discussions here have always been what defines a pro. I'm afraid that having a separate, locked forum for "pros" may be more of a turn-off for a lot of people. It almost becomes a caste/class system in some people's eyes. Nikonites is a very nice community. You'll notice that "snooty" people don't hang around much, and the "regulars" are very supportive. I belong to a professional organization and stopped using their forum because of their snobbishness. Even the pros on this aforementioned pro forum keep their trade secrets --many times someone will ask a question and the response is "PM me". These are not the kind of people I want to see here. When we welcome new members we ALL say "we're here to learn and gladly share". We still have the PM option for "trade secrets" IMHO [/QUOTE]
