New Creative Forum?

Panoguide is a superb source of assistance and discussion led by some of the world's leading experts. However, its main ambition seems to be technical perfection.
While no one can dispute this aim, many of the panoramas shown on the site are purely records, not photographs and there seems to be little interest in the creative technicalities of pictorial and experimental work - and perhaps persuade a few more women that we are not all annoracks.
Now, with the introduction of CS4, panoramas will become more mainstream, I feel a Creative Forum could only expand the site's base.

Perhaps you will like these panos - not mine - done by an Autopano Pro user:

i missed this post earlier. there is a lot of creativity lacking in panography imo and i feel the same way about my panos too. i lurk at another pano forum which is more geared towards gigapixel type stuff and almost everything there is certainly lacking everything but technical expertise.
i recently shot one vr that at least for me shows some creative composition and use of light - which by the way is pretty hard considering the medium, really. i learned a lot from just one image, but it's changed my perspective (pun) on panos and i'm looking forward to putting more creativity into them as i feel i've got most of the technical stuff down now.
i'd love to see more creativity in everyones vr's and panos (esp mine  )

Perhaps not to everyones tastes, but not "purely records".

Its also an example of the danger of publishing images on the net.
This is one of these really bad copyright infrigments which are so difficult to hunt down.
Apparently they are stolen from either some stockphotoagency or maybe his own site at the beginning.
Now it is impossible to track them because these blogs and communities link to each others images and to imagehack sites.
Its not even possible to find the photographer. He probably already withdrawn all his work because of this.
I can see the images are missing from some of the sites who has published them so he may have been trying to get it stopped.
The Danish Journalist association has just fined a case against a community here in Denmark to try and create a stop for this kind by making the owner of the site responsible for everything users upload to it.
Actually in Germany it it might also be a crime just linking to a site containing copyrighted mtrl like you do here.
