Please continue to do what you guys are so great at over at TheMess or even at TheAAR. Both of these communities can co-exist and complement each other well into the future. It would be such a shame to let the ending of the current MP.net community break up years of solid commitment you guys have shown. Whether over at TheMess in their more restrictive (understandably) posting conditions or at TheAAR with the more relaxed position they have taken please continue to share these images with the rest of us!
Either way thank you to all the Weekly photo contributors over the years. Your work has been most appreciated!
