Retiring Digital Grin (DGrin) on February 13th
Hello D-Grin community!
I’d like to let you all know SmugMug has made the decision to retire Digital Grin (aka DGrin).
Photography online is alive and well: New capture techniques, technology, and increased access across the globe continue to drive our craft. While our forum may be closing, the opportunities to guide and shape the conversation around photography have never been bigger.
As you probably know, SmugMug acquired Flickr in 2018. As one of the first social networks, Flickr has a vibrant, engaged community. We're building a group there just for Digital Grin members, and it's free to join. We'd love to see you there to help us continue the conversation.
https://www.flickr.com/groups/dgrin/
Here's how the roadmap looks for the D-Grin forums:
Today:
- Let the existing community know about the plan
- Stop approving new members
February 1 (or there abouts)
- Restrict new posts
February 13 (or there abouts)
- Turn off the site and redirect the domain
Thank you for being part of this community and making it the special place it’s been.
Erik

I don't think they can find the off switch! Actually, a little secret... there is no off switch! Dgrin is/was hosted by Vanilla, and THEY have to pull the plug. Maybe they didn't get the message? When we were using vBulletin, we Dgrin admins had the power to control everything, including knowing where the OFF switch was, which we used once or twice to pause the forum when we were under a severe spam bot attack, but late at night when not too many would be affected. I come in here every night to check if anyone posts without knowing the end has come and so I can direct them to the Flickr group and/or Focus on Photography Forum, where of course we are all now refugees.

No one will answer this here because the Dgrin forum has been closed down.

The members of this forum, by and large, are now posting photos here:

Please note that there is no support for SM there, as it is primarily a photography related forum that is not associated with Smugmug or Dgrin.

There are two never-ending Alphabet games on the Focus on Photography Forum. 
One is called "Alphabet Photos - Common Nouns Only!" and the other is "The A-Z Game - No Rules."

thanks David, i will definitely join this community!
I now see you there, Awais. Glad you could make it. It might take several comment posts there before you can post photos (I can't tell you how many comments but it won't take very long), which is also the way Dgrin was set up for new registrants so spammers would not get an early foot-hold if we were unable to detect them. And then PLEASE post photos! I would love to see what you've been up to lately.
