    There's no community coming even close to this club in the whole internet.

    My question to the contributors: Why are you doing this? What's your motivation behind sharing all that fantastic stuff?

    I'm curious about your written answers except of the poll :)

    I take, so feel I should give in return.

    For me, I would like to contribute to and support for the group. Most people in here, that I know and believe has an unbelievable talent but with limited resources such as money to afford them for a training, or even workshop to go to, far places to places. Since this is a unified group on postprocessing it will be better to share even in a small amount that they could give. Like supporting to buy Gold stuff, wouldn't be a bad idea. We only do have one common, and sharing knowledge with the same interest in Post Processing industry, is very inspiring. I couldn't believe there's a group such as this. Having a group or a club that you belonged, is so speechless. And I am so happy, that I have found you guys. Looking forward to it, to be a Gold Member someday.

    Paying it forward. Some guy called Jack that used to run GB's on reddit was pretty selfless with the material he'd personally acquired. Don't know what became of him, but those GB's introduced me to content-via-cloud (vs torrents etc). Access to that content was a huge help when I didn't have the means (or desire) to purchase something outright. But now that I can..

    As to why here? PV allowed me to get my hands on FS - The Hero Shot for the price of GM. Didn't have to fuck around with invitation codes or meet any other number of prerequisites before being able to get the download link, and that was huge for me. Also love that the majority of content is Mega-centric rather than split across 20 rar files.

    Happy to contribute to such an accessible platform.

    I get the whole 'knowledge should be free' thing, but the creators (esp on the video/tutorial front, or things like Mastin/VSCO) have spent a great deal of time producing the content, and that's why it's important to me that I purchase it myself (even if I intend to allow others to access that material)

    It's incredible the fore of to be united. The quantity of resources that are here. I can't imagine to study as hard as possible without this kind of sharing groups. And you ?

    It's only fair to give something back to the community. If no one contributed, there wouldn't be a community!

    Hey Leona95.... as a child I saw a billboard sign that had a message that may translate: If some one is hungry don't give a fish, teach him how to fish.... He will no longer ever die from starvation! Well to teach something.... one should learn... and LEARNING in our today's world requires income.... well Knowledge needs to be share all around and for free! Once we all have learn something we can start to give back..... and the chain goes on & on.... Education should not be treasured, it should be shared. ;) Cheers

    I am one of those who can't afford to buy training or workshop. I'm sorry if I can't afford Gold Membership. I just invest my money on internet connection to browse and download tutorials (ISP is expensive here in my country 3mbps speed for $50 but the real speed is less than 2mbps with max dl speed of 300kbps). I will forever grateful to all contributors. Someday when I became a successful photographer, I will fully support this forum and the authors.
