Imaging Revue is a subscription based website ($120/year) that featured
forums attended by
some of the great names in digital imaging. Virtually all the experts
resigned this week.
Remarkably, there has been no announcement about this by the site owners.
The only way
members might learn about this is by checking a members only feedback
forum buried three
links deep into the site.
The following Imaging Revue Experts are resigning from the IR website
as of 10-11-2004:
John Paul Caponigro, Katrin Eismann, Martin Evening, Bruce Fraser, Greg
Gorman, Mac
Holbert, Ian Lyons, Steve Gorman, Seth Resnick, Andrew Rodney, and Jeff
Schewe
The statement they issued to IR subscribers is shown below:
While we, as a group, appreciated the community that included the IR
membership, we have
fundamental differences with the organization and management of Imaging
Revue. When it
was first proposed, we felt the time was right for a site dedicated to
digital imaging on a
subscription basis. However, the management of the site has failed to
meet our expectations.
We now feel it is wrong for us to be involved as Experts without any
direct control over how
the site is administered.
Our disagreement is not with the subscribers of Imaging Revue nor its
community. We have
nothing but good feelings towards the friends weve made here. We wish
the community
well. But clearly, in the opinion of the Experts, the management of IR
has not followed
through with its commitment to the fundamental structure and organization
of the site. In
fact, we now question the validity of the basic business model of paying
Experts to answer
questions.
We realize that many members have subscribed and paid money in large
part because we, as
Experts, were involved. To those people we can only offer our sincere
apology. We would like
to have offered a better and stronger involvement but circumstances have
prevented us from
being able to do so.
For those of you who feel angry or frustrated, we can only apologize
and sympathize. We
wish this site had met your expectations as well as ours.
The individual Experts have expressed a desire to offer their own goodbyes,
but as a group
we felt the need to make a unified statement.
