Bummer. I had a great time learning about photography on Nelsonfoto. It was definitely a great community! As much as I enjoyed the site and the community it fostered, photography has changed a lot since most of the members have migrated elsewhere. Personally, as we move on into the future I'd be fine with our new "home" here holding the torch formerly held by Nelsonfoto. It would be a shame for Nelsonfoto to be a conduit for scammers if it remained online, especially considering the extreme lack of activity there for the past several years.
If there were a way to archive the contents of Nelsonfoto, that would be awesome. It was full of lots of great info, repair tips, camera reviews, etc. If that can't happen, we'll just have to start posting up more here to make up for the loss
