Super Members Mattias Burling Posted August 4, 2017 Super Members Share Posted August 4, 2017 That place used to be cool. The comments on the page and their facebook have been so toxic lately that there imo is absolutely no point in having any sort of discussion there. There is not one single article, about anything that's not met with nothing but hate. It could be an article about world peace and everyone gets mad and want war. No moderation. At least the articles where decent imo. And then they started to slip, click bait, bad fact checking and so on. The latest example was the success story that Leica has gone so far into the green that the investor that holds a minority share of 45% is ready to make a return and become rich. Some bogus bloggers made up a story about it and that's what NOFS is reporting. Not the original content from a credible news agency. They are actually speculating that a bank selling a share with no money passing through Leica would "save" a very profitable an growing company... sigh. And that's just one example. Normally I don't get to upset but I actually liked NOFS. I thought it was a great blog. But lately.. I don't know. There still is alot good stuff and fascinating articles. Forums have been on a steady decline for a few years. The whole positive video movement is long dead imo. But there at least was the blogs and this forum is still on the up-n-up if you ask me. I don't really know what my point is, just venting. Lately I have accepted that its mostly just the "Ass-Burgers" left online (wrote a blog about that a year or so ago). The pros and artists are out shooting and the rest have moved on to other hobbies. This blog and forum I think is the only place where creativity and art can coexist with the charts people. But its a battle, I see the scene in 300 where they are pushing them out of the passage with their shields. Sorry for the rambling. Like I said, just venting.

PannySVHS Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hey Mattias, this forum has inspired me to shoot. Maybe without this community I wouldnt have been a nerd with an obsession for 8bit Panny Lumix color:) As long as we are keeping up the manners, this great forum is gonna stay. I bought a Tevidon thanks to you. 16mm 1.8, beauty! Just too lazy to hassle with purchasing an adapter now. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted August 4, 2017 Author Super Members Share Posted August 4, 2017 Agreed. That 16mm is cool for sure get on that adapter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use an insulting term for people who are neurologically divergent as a general insult, then you're not in a great position to criticize. This is no different from using racist or homophobic language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 4, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2017 The audience shifts over time and keeps evolving with the site. NFS have written pretty much nothing but articles designed to reel in clicks so their audience has shifted to the lowest common denominator of people. It's what you get if you have to pay for your visitors or entice them with headlines, rather than building a community around real content and real filmmakers / enthusiasts. The people left online overall are the same as ever, not just trolls but real people - pros and artists still use the internet, they have not gone away! It's just that maybe they don't want to read or engage with a shit website. The problem is that there are too many shit websites around and it's hurting the internet generally. Most sites are completely under the spell of clickbate and bad content for hits and ad revenue... I have completely lost faith in pretty much all of the photographic / video sites to be honest.

jcs Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 People have argued and debated on the internet since the beginning on USENET (even before on dial-up BBS's). One reason people are in a much more dramatic space is due to the constant negative divisive programming coming daily from mainstream media and the frequent reminder of world war III starting with N. Korea. India is now in a standoff with China. At the same time the US government is under assault from the so-called deep state, run by the bankers looking to hold onto power after the impending global financial reset. Consciously and unconsciously this results in an increase in negative behavior online. We can keep our heads down and fiddle with our cameras and gear, or we can get out and make films and videos designed to bring unity, show how we can work together, how we can survive when the financial reset happens, how we can survive if WW 3 happens, and even better how we can all stand up and voice our global desire: war is not an acceptable solution to the financial crisis. If this is one of the last forums where useful information is shared and people get along, then the pattern is an example to apply to other forums, news site comment sections, Facebook and so on. Now more than ever in all our lifetimes is the time to figure out how to work together non-competitively and with kindness, for the survival of everyone.

Please reread the post, check the spelling in a dictionary, watch all seasons of South Park, learn to take a joke and then get back to me I'm further from being a racist and a homo-fob or derogatory to people with disabilities than you. Unless you also have worked officially in a government agency with these exact questions. And also have some sort of training backing it up. Not trying to have a pissing contest with you, just feeling you out to see if you are just an arm chair crusader or seriously offended. If so, sorry you feel that way BTW "2. Assburgers can also be used to describe anti-social or otherwise retarded, socially inept, or offensive person(s) or groups of people who are tolerated, even welcomed within a particular group, because the host(s) lacks courage or incentive to stand up for moral principles to kick them out."

This is no different from using racist or homophobic language. We are not the ones described above. I agree with your general remark, just not with the occasion. I mean, none of the EOSHD crowd would need to feel described by "Ass burger" anyway. Mattias post is more valid than ever. It´s a threat to forum culture how platforms like Cinema5D and Dpreview have been turning into clickbait for clickbaited audiences. By the way, clickbait, here is mine GX85, HD 24p, 12mm SLRMagic, natural profile with contrast and color 0, rest-5, unlit, Teaser for my upcoming Vampire short.

People with aspergers know perfectly well that you are referring to them when you say "ass burger" and that you are using the comparison in a derogatory way. Excusing yourself by saying that other people should have more of a sense of humour so that can you insult them is, frankly, pathetic. These are people who are more intelligent and much less ass-like than you are showing yourself to be, but who still have more than share of problems. ....So I suggest that you take a big dose of grow-up pills and stop making other people more miserable just because you think it is funny. Also, the story about Leica originated with Reuters, so, yes, a proper news source - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-blackstone-leica-camera-sale-idUSKBN1AI22V?lr=lr ...So you're about as smart as you sensitive, adult, and funny...

Cinegain Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I haven't been following many of those sorta sites or forums (NoFilmSchool, Cinema5D, REDuser, dvxuser, etc) as they always seemed to be for the bit more hardcore cinematographers and fanboys. Especially the forums, with a maze of subforums and early 2000's layout and users with no patience for newbies. No country or normal men. Nah, apart from rumorsites this is about the only place keep checking on the regular. EOSHD has managed to keep a fresh approach and the audience as well as the curator allow for diverse content, though the main theme is: creativity meets common sense. Most revolves around practical and affordable gear and how to use 'em to bring visions to life, not exclusive to people already well-established in the industry. There's a general vibe of chillness, openness, positivity and creativity that makes the forum content range go wherever the crowd takes it. You'll find a lot of passionate enthusiasts here, like me, that might not feel at home that well at other places (where the thing that counts seems to be being init as a professional, rather than doing it for the passion). Apart from EOSHD I think that for the more interesting informative and opinionated content you'll have to head towards YouTube, some channels there are great. jonpais, PannySVHS, sudopera and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizz Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thats one of the internet problems nowadays. Everyone has always something to say...something to add to a certain topic but the reality is that thats not true at all. Society as brought us here and keep forcing us to do that (to post something, to write an opinion, to share your own life and so on). And in most cases that results in posts and dialogues with insults and etc. Thats why i rarely post on facebook and although i visit eoshd everyday i dont respond or post a lot simply because i dont have anything to add in terms of knowledge. jbCinC_12 and mkabi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
