How about a ULF forum

[Mike A]

Wasn't there a ultra large format forum on the old site? I say ditch the lounge forum and replace it with ULF forum, can I get a second motion?

Personally, I just dont think ULF is or should be considered a different category from LF. I dont see a need for a new forum. We're all users of big view cameras.

If it's not a huge hassle to set up, I think it's a reasonable idea.

There's a separate ULF forum on APUG, doesn't that fill the bill if you want a place m devoted exclusively to ULF?

[BrianShaw]

Why... to separate the men from the boys?

Folks, there was a separate tag for ULF threads under the old forum software, and I found it useful. ULF does have its own distinctive challenges, and we've never stopped having discussions about them; I'm not sure why it should be a problem to once again have a convenient way of finding and organizing those threads.

We can look into it. We consolidated most camera related categories from the old forum into the Cameras section here. Not being a ULFer I don't quite see why you can't ask ULF questions in the existing spot. I mean, do we give 6x9ers their own section? How about 8x10? It's a slippery slope.

We can, and we do. It would just be a convenience, that's all.

It would be reasonable if there were lots of discussion of 6x9- or 8x10-specific issues and a critical mass of people who said they'd find it helpful.

It's not something I'll lose sleep over one way or the other - if Mike and I are the only ones arguing in favor I'll certainly understand if you decide it's not worth the trouble.

Well its not really a convenience. I would have change my settings and follow 2 forums instead of one, or I would miss some things. BTW I would also like to see the APUG ULF forum merged with LF, along with the plate camera forum, but thats veering OT. There is no such thing as ULF, IMO. Its either big or it isnt. ULF-LF have far more in common than not.
