You will be missed!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE that JPG is gone!!!

Ever since I found this great mag/site and became a member, I have visited EVERY DAY!!!

My days will be lost without participating in such a GREAT OUTLET for many many talented photographers.

I have gained so many friends, and have grown so much as a photographer thanks to the friendliest talent in the world, and now, it's gone.

I am LOST without JPG, and do not know what I am going to do.

I will miss you all dearly, and hope that either JPG can find a way to stay alive, or find an equally great outlet for us to meet up again!

Goodbye JPG!

Goodbye ALL of my Friends!!!

I will miss you!!!

    Ahmed, you make the BEST statements in photos! I hate that we may loose JPG. I am NOT giving up though. I filled out the survey and said I would be willing to pay a yearly fee to help keep JPG going. If we would all pay something maybe JPG can be saved. I truly hope this with all of my heart. It was a fantastic day when you sent me that email offering to help me with my night photography. You are a very good person, a friend to many, and you like to share your knowledge to help other people learn better photography techniques. I "played it forward" and helped someone else with some of my knowledge. It felt great to do that. JPG has done such a fantastic service to us who love photography and now I hope that we can help them and turn this around from going “belly up” to thriving once more!!!

    I am so with you Ann! I voted to pay an annual fee as well, and like the rest of us, I do not know if there will ever be another photo sharing site like JPG!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed!

    You take such eloquent and touching photos. This is no exception; but if you have been visiting every day you know that there is a strong possibility that JPG will survive. I think we all had the same sense of loss that day. Chin up, Ahmed.
