It is funny that 99% of the mods are not actual Photographers...but rather wannbes...they hide in their offices all day as engineers and other such people with a 9-5 paycheck job and take a few pics here and there...they are not out in the trenches shooting for a living......Where did they study photography...they did not...but yet they think they have the proper knowledge to run a photography forum...not hardly...they like the control they can have over others.....the most Fascist are a west coast engineer and an east coast Physicist and he really got bad after earning his PHD......but if the actual head of the forums would simply slap his buddies once in a while rather than allowing them to run off some the most creative people from across the globe then the forum would grow leaps and bounds...instead of people posting that AI am leaving because of how I have been treated by tyrannical mods/admins....it is never the powers that be fault...it is always the forum users fault....if these powers run their homes like they do Dgrin then they are abusing their wives and children......it has been proven over and over again on Law and Order and other law enforcement tv shows.......really what has happened on Dgrin to nite is not much different than Egypt cutting all cell phone and internet and train availability for its people....simply just another form of Fascism but from american tyrrants......
Smugmug came on line with out any really good way to upload photos...ask for a better way..of anything and you get standard run around the bush of answers...but we refuse to give a definitive answer because one of our competitors might be watching....case in point i started hosting my pix there a little over 5yrs ago...but could not upload very fast...sometimes it took days to upload a few pix...a few is under 100 jpegs.....they want to cater to the PRO but refuse to allow us to store raw or dng files, but they partnered with Amazon and offered disk space that for me 5yrs ago would have cost me over $2k/yr to store my Original files whether raw or DNG......
nope not me..so I have a collection of hard drives storing my images by year taken...has cost me less than 1k so far....for 3 copies of each drive......
The real kicker, FTP has been around since April 16, 1971...since its inception FTP has been the FREAKING STANDARD for transferring files.....and the owners of SmugMUg / Dgrin did not allow for its use that is pure and simple idiocy....it is fast as hell it is safe and if your computer or the one being transferred to shuts down...the transfer will start up again when the problem is solved and the path is open again......but no they keep coming up with crap uploaders even when asked to implement the use of FTP........or they tell you to by one from a software developer that hangs on the forum........why the hell buy one FIREFTP is free from Mozilla....get real SMUGMUG
