Hello.

Just wondering how you all found TPF?

I spose its only fair that I start....

I was a member of another photography forum which shall remain nameless. I had quite a major bust-up with one of the moderators over the way the place was being run and I basically told him to shove his forum where the mice won't get it. I have this apparently nasty habit of saying exactly what I think to people...

Meanwhile I'd been told about TPF by my brother who had dealings with a car website at the time, and he knew one of the moderators on here, so I joined up and kinda never posted until after the altercation on the other site. Quite an unusual turn of events, really -he was always into photography for maybe 15 years or more but now I'm kinda more into it than he is.

Anyway, what you doing here? :)

Think it was the same for me, can't remember though, seems an eternity:thinking:
 
I was sent here as a punishment...:(
 
I was walking along a dimmly lit street a few years ago when three shifty looking dudes stepped out from behind a parked Transit van, they knocked me on the head with a metal bar and i've not been allowed out from behind this pc screen since.
 
It was Mr Matthew Moule.
He had a wonderful image of an eagle published in a photography mag and I picked up one of his threads at POTN about it.

I PM'd him over there and he pointed me here.

Been here ever since.
 
I was using AVF's photo section. It was growing slowly but full of what camera for £50 posts. The moderation (from the site owner not the forum mods) was OTT to say the least so I moved to a tiny forum in Mattys sig.

Think there was something like 3 or 4 posts a day then. Now it can be a struggle keeping up with everything at times :) . Go TPF!
 
I saw a link to TPF from the OCuK photography section and decided to be nosey :)
 
Got fed up reading the "whats the best camera for under £50" threads over on OcUK.
 
I blame CT (aka Tonky on S2KI forum). He made me come here....
 
I wandered over from OcUk after seeing TPF mentioned several times over there by Matty;)
 
me?? a pimp??? never i tell you!

Google is working well innit, regular results in the top 10 now, and a few #1 ratings too.
 
google
 
I think I was another one lured here by a link in Matty's sig on another forum - he gets all over the bloody place!
 
It's Digital Failure's fault I'm here. He and I used to post on the Civic Type-R Owners Board, where I used to get involved in the occasional photographic/Photoshop threads. Just after this board was started he pointed me over here, and in no time at all I was press-ganged into modding in a moment of temporary insanity. :shrug:
 
I can't remember how, I think I heard it on the trickery.net forum, they have a great photography forum :)

Amended for accuracy ;)
 
I can't remember how I found TPF.. I think there was a link to it on someone's site.
 
my sig got rumbled only recently too, not bad eh!
 
OT Matty, I've got you on as a link from my site, do the links actually do you any good?
 
This guy called CT came over to the Civic Type R forum and whored about the old TPF, so I came over and had a nose around. :)

Yes, just joined here and found it the same way - Matty's sig on dcmag forum.

Great forum here, just getting into it. Thanks!

a link from Ford Mondeo forum, MEG
 
Dod yes those links are useful, if everyone had one on their sites and those sites are googled then yes, very useful
 
I think it's fair to say that Matty is the pimp daddeh!!!!

Can there be anyone on the internet who he hasn't nudged :D
 
Link in someones sig on the OC.UK forum, was starting to get interested in the photography forum but to be honest it wasnt busy enough to feed my interest, once I stumbled in here that changed;)

Sat on the sidelines a bit to see what the place was like and when I realized that it was full of some good characters as opposed to some of those you get in other forums, I took the plunged and signed up - been happy ever since:thumbs:

(Must get around to posting some pics @ some point though;))
