www.monotoneplus.com is a new learning photography forum that has started up. Registration is free and you get a free gallery when you sign up, along with access to all areas of the forum.

Since it is just starting up there are only a few members and your ref link wont do you any good the three admins are already with SS and they are going to intergrate their link through the site, and several of the start up members are also members here. So you might not be able to catch any new refs but you could meet some nice people and learn or share your knowledge.

I've posted this before but this is a logical place for it as well. A lot of the content isn't new if you've read Stuart's stuff here and my articles elsewhere, but this consolidates it and organizes things a bit.
www.rwphoto.easyhost4all.info

If you're checking right after I posted this, my host is possibly unavailable. It appears to be a connection issue so depending on your location you might be able to get through.

Oh, I do have a forum there, it's rather (ok, complete) empty at the moment but filling it is up to you guys, my stuff is elsewhere on the site. Feel free to discuss any and all stock sites, other photo tip resource sites... I'm of the opinion that these kinds of sites don't compete they all contribute to the same goal. As long as the same content isn't being posted everywhere most folks will regularly check each of their favorite sites for new material.

Feel free to include your referal code in your sigs and such, and if you write an article for me that I post I'll include your links as part of your by line as well. I'd love to have all that traffic myself but if you create the content that inspired them to click you get credit.
