[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 2398, member: 1061"] I am also a member of a few general photography forums. When I got my D90, I began the search for another that was more specific to Nikon gear. I would never be a member of Nikonians. It is very clear, even at first glance, that their site is all about making money as opposed to building a real online community. It's very expensive to run a site like this, especially where there are user galleries to upload images. Bandwidth ain't cheap. But there must be a balance between content and profit, and it takes a very special site owner to maintain that balance. It's a lot easier said than done. I'm a web developer, and I see a lot of admins who try to make a quick buck and fail. For me, the choice was simple. This is a budding community that uses a great platform (vBulletin). It's important that the site admin is also a forum-goer and has a hand in helping his site grow. Building up a forum takes time, but many of the right things are in place here. [/QUOTE]
