So what's the deal with HDMOM?

Ervin Farkas · June 7th, 2009, 10:09 AM

Thank you for bringing back the entry level fora, and good luck with the new one.

thank you Chris, for bringing back the Sony A1u. With all the comment in this thread and the debate on HDmom, you know now(or already know) how much we love DVinfo.net.
Long live to Dvinfo and good luck to HDmom

Chris, Glad you liked the domain suggestion and I am really glad to hear you are going to pair down the threads in the consumer site. Please let me know how we can help. I think the which camera/software/etc threads are going to be big on that site but unfortunately from a very different POV than here.

Again, I think this is a wonderful concept and really the debate should be more focused on implementation and how we can help make this sister community a great place too.

Now if only the camera manufacturers were as responsive to their users' wishes.

Thank you for the restoration!

Chris,

When I first started to use DVinfo exclusively and abandoned several other video forums many years ago (while I still was a very fresh amateur), it was mainly for a few important reasons:

1. The real name requirements, which meant hardly any bad comments, and people behaving gentle and professional, even to beginners/novices like I was back then. Here people are treated with the same respect regardless of being professional or beginner. That's a very good thing.

2. It was THE one and only place to find serious information, honest answers and to learn, and I have learned a lot these years thanks to DVinfo.

I just wrote my first post over on the HDMom. Login was easy, same as here, and looks like it brings over my profile from this site.

But my number of posts is off - 1700+ over here, only 1472 there?

Where's the discrepancy coming from?

Thanks,

Ervin,

The database on HDmom isn't shared with dvinfo.net, it's a 'snapshot in time' copy, so the more you post here, it won't be reflected over there and vice versa.

It's sort of "on hiatus" anyway until we can affect a name change, due shortly.

Colin McDonald · September 10th, 2009, 03:49 PM

I missed all of this until now (very busy May and June!)
Just for the record:

The "mom" thing doesn't really bother me - "listmom" is a common enough term on the internet after all

The "Restoration" was a Good Thing (thanks Chris)

I hope some folks looking for answers on HDMOM are encouraged by what they read and come to dvinfo to find out more. I came to dvinfo through a reference on a consumer video site.
