Photography Forum?

Hello there,

I am sure I speak for a number of people when I say, that a photography forum would be very much welcomed here on HabboxForum.

At current the photographers and photography fans on HabboxForum are using the 'Pictures' forum to display and discuss photography, however this seems a little too open and I personally think that a photography forum would benefit all. Ranging from photographic work, to help, to requests, to new and to selling, I believe a photographic forum would provide a central hub for photographers and fans to participate in.

As a photographer myself, I would be more than willing to contribute to this forum with general information, news/updates and would also be willing to run a photographic competition - this would boost the community relations between members. I would also be willing to moderate such a forum.

I know that a photography forum would be a very much active community, and I do hope you can see my points. Any questions/problems, I am more than happy to answer.

To be honest, creating a Sub-forum for photopgraphy would be good, even if that is under the 'Pictures' section.

Or Prefixes could be used again to define which section you are posting into.

I am for this too :) You may even get me joining in for a change lol

Only problem is though, will there be enough photographers to participate in a forum which is more of an artsy form of the picture forum. Is there anything in the picture forum that isn't there just for art come to think of it? :S Could well be renamed "Photography."

I'm going to 100% back this up, I enjoy photography to be honest. I'm even planning myself going a step forward and getting myself a D-SLR for Christmas so this would be great if there was a section for anyone who wants to share there work. Great suggestion Darren, hope it works :)

Nice idea, would be helpful for people who are looking to take Photography at GCSE/A Level. :)

As we all know Darren you're highly opinionated when it comes to what you can call "photography".

Besides, the other pictures forum doesn't get used that often, and even as I am interested in photography (as you can see on my devinanart link in sig), I am against it

If not a subforum, prefixes would be a good idea.

But I'm fully for this yeah :)

I would love this. I love veiwing dareen and many others work. I am not a photographer myself but i just enjoy veiwing photography. There are also some verry good ones on habbox i have to admit.

I see your points. From what I have seen there are loads of photographers on this forum, ranging from 'snaps' to professional images.

I personally think it would be best to have a new forum called 'Photography' and under that forum have sub-forums such as 'Requests', 'Buying/Selling', 'Reviews' etc. The amount of threads I see within the Technology forums saying 'is this camera good', well we could direct people to join what I feel would be a hub for photographers on a very active forum. With prefix's, I believe it would still be a little open and would be a little all over the place.

Like I also mentioned above, a possible photographic competition every month? I am sure some kind of VIP could be rewarded, however it is the constructive feedback which is most important to help users gain experience and knowledge.

I'm not too sure about it, the reason being is that having a whole new forum for it, could possibly lead to other people wanting sub-forums for Digital Design, Traditional Artwork, Drawings, etc.
It doesn't really get used that much either.
I don't see why a trial run cannot be exhumed though, whether this be with prefixes or a sub-forum. I'd rather it be prefixes than anything though.
