An Important Message To PhotographersPlace.com Members
For some time now we have been struggling to maintain this website using portal software that has been a constant target for hackers and spammers. Unfortunately the better the software, the more websites use it ... and the more attractive it is to idiots whose idea of skill and creativity is to vandalize the work of others.
As a result we haven't had time to do what we wanted with the site, a lot of our Members have (understandably) lost interest, and things have slipped.
So for starters we have disabled the portal software to stop the abuse. We will now spend some time reviewing what aspects have been most popular and useful in the past, and then we'll consider the options for making those services available again.
So hopefully, we will be back soon with a new look site, a little bit leaner, but still packed full useful features and content for working photographers. We have saved all user-submitted data, such as your links & articles etc, and we will do our best to re post that information as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience and for your support!
Regards
Matt
