Anyone interested in a new forum for mirrorless?

This is an informal survey to see if enough people would be interested in a forum devoted to mirrorless cameras. It would have several purposes such as discussing gear and methods, comparing models, exchanging tips and tricks, and educating those who might want to change to mirrorless.
Post whether you think this would be worthwhile or not.

Do they take different pictures? Do they take pictures differently? Do they use an exposure tetrahedron?
I thought we covered everything about mirrorless earlier this year? Myths about mirrorless cameras

The mirrorless migration would probably falter if we took mirrorless commentaries out of the mainstream. Either that, or it would increase the "ostrichity" of both types of users... They'd crawl into their own caves on opposite sides of the watering hole (2001: A Space Odyssey reference).
It would be like putting all the conservatives on Fox, and all the liberals on NPR + PBS. Oh, wait... That's actually happened! See where THAT got us?

I have been shooting mirrorless for many years. Personally I don’t see the advantage of a separate forum for mirrorless.
Mirrorless bodies are digital cameras like DSLRs and they use the same sensors and technology to record light. Other than the advantages of mirrorless which have been discussed many times here, nothing is radically different about using mirrorless. Anyone who can use a DSLR can easily adapt to a mirrorless format camera.

Nah.
Mirror/no mirror. Wouldn't matter, takes pictures.
The mechanism by which it does is of no consequence to me.
My bridge camera and phone don't have a mirror.

So, are phones allowed / disallowed in a mirrorless forum?

THAT would be a good question!
I suppose one would have to restrict it to mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses?
(I can't change lenses on my bridge, but I can use diopters on both my phone and bridge...)

Some people have both and in discussions it is good to hear the comparisons (advantages/disadvantages) without trying to view 2 areas to get the full picture/story. I think the separation would be a step back instead of forward.

The admin(s) for this proposed new group will have a field day policing the content ...

Ahhhh, yea..., they would.

I think it would serve more as a mirrorless fan club than a camera information forum.

What would be the point?
Camera technology changes - slowly - overtime. Most of my cameras are SLRS / DSLRS but I do have a mirrorless camera. Many people already have difficulty posting things in the appropriate sections whether they are images or computer questions or political rants.
Wouldn't it make UHH further Balkanized and more difficult to access? We already have some significant contributors leaving UHH. Would this add value or detract value from UHH?

NO
BUT - can we have a forum for those asking survey questions?

NO, I don't think so. I own both types of cameras and I just don't see that one is that much different from the other. Also, it doesn't matter how many forums you have, everyone will just keep posting their snapshots in this one!
