hi, jinny

i should have clarified. i wasn’t thinking in terms of a newsgroup or the message boards of delphi, e-groups or about. more specifically i was meaning a web type magazine dedicated to the area of graphics applications which exists solely on it’s own. sites like:

http://www.mactoday.com
http://www.creaticity.com
http://www.computerarts.co.uk/

interestingly painter is seldom ever mentioned at these sites. creaticity has a forum dedicated to painter and absolutely nothing is happening on it. mactoday is photoshop-centric and computerarts had a moderator raise the question about painter 6 once and myself and a couple others replied and that was the end of it. i/us.com is as much an e-zine as those i’ve listed and amazingly painter has a presence on it and a pictorial one at that. about .com has plenty of info on the graphics subjects but it’s a total free for all, and if you can find it, painter is stuck in a corner somewhere with no special consideration.

ah well, just an observation

stecyk,

Maybe we should all crash the party at these sites and make sure that Painter has more notice.

That's what it takes for a forum (to use the generic term) to work well... people posting messages, sharing links, announcing events, etc.

There are only a few of us here, but each of us could spread the word about these sites, along with the others that we know of related to Painter.

How about it? I'll go to each of the sites you mentioned and see if I can find Pianter there and post a message. Do you think this would help? If we just wish it could be different.. it probably won't.

Jinny, who's all for promoting Painter!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hi, it's me again..

I just went to http://www.mactoday.com and posted a Painter message in the discussion named:

Topic: drawing and painting program

Take a look, and add your own message to help stir up more interest in Painter. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thanks,

Jinny
P.S. I'll go to the other sites as soon as I have time. Right now, I have to go get ready for a couple of appointments later today. See you soon! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

stecyk,

Um... no.. not me. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I just love Painter and know that like the U.S. Government.. it doesn't give us what we want if we don't participate (even then, it takes a little work). [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Hi again,

I found a little time between things and went to the Creaticity Coffehouse/Painter message board. There was nothing posted at all, so I opened a new Discussion. Here's the Topic and Description (they ask you to put your name in the Topic header so that's why it's there):
______________________________

Stecyk66 and Jinny,
The Idea of promoting Painter is great. I asked for some activity and got a revolution.
While you folks are out promoting please don't forget to promote this Forum.

Regards,
Greg.
P.S.
I left one on http://www.mactoday.com

Greg,

You folks? How about joining us and mentioning this forum around the Painter Community too?

It's amazing what only one person can do. Think how much more every time one more pitches in.

Happy day!

Jinny
