DPR has removed the closing down warning

Hi,

Nope. Just as it was not the same place after Phil sold it. Things, they always are a-changing. ;)

I remember 'New Coke' too ... not quite the same though ...

But probably not with the same host stability. I am at least the seventh thread manager for the Sunday Cat!

IMO, DPR needs to either close “now” or announce it it staying open. The time is here.

Hi,

I expect someone is negotiating and we won't know the details. Maybe ever, but details to tend to leak out once the deal has been finalized. In the meantime, I'll continue on there as I have for the past 23 years and not be concerned about exactly what day it goes away or doesn't.

And of course it will change. It has always changed. And that won't change.

For example: We used to talk about all makes and models of ILC digital cameras in the Pro Digital Talk forum....because all such things were for professionals and not amateurs. That changed quite early on, but if anyone wants they can go back to the beginning in that forum and see for yourself.

It’s not closing… see Richard Butler’s comments here…

DP Review should charge $10 per person....they would make a mint. Or yes, as someone said, some porn company should step in and make digital porn (DP) as they would make a ton of money hands over.

I too am fascinated with the obsession with the DP site.....It was just a site and many times it was 'petty', 'offensive', 'attacking' , clique-ish', and 'loaded with postcard type images people take' ... Often times I found it best to vacate for months at a time to catch my breath and catch my breath.

I enjoyed some of it though as , just like on this site....one could ask questions and someone would reply..... a good place to know about a camera/lens when I was looking at buying.... gaining knowledge about photography subjects...and while it was centered on digital, there was still quite a bit on film within that site as well. So, it had great points too, but to the point of obsession?

People obsess about all sorts of things, my neighbor washes his car every Saturday, 52 weeks of the year.
To talk to, he seems like a normal guy. lol

But last year had 53 Saturdays!

Hi,

The photo gear I'm most interested in is the medium format stuff. Right now there are two threads posted to in the past 24 hours. Here.

There are eight threads posted to over there.

This site is the most active of three DP Review Replacement sites I have been following. But DP Review is still the most active. Ever though it's well past the published expiration date.

I don't know about any of the other forums. I shall keep on both here and there. But here, I head to the Threads list a couple times a day and so wind up eyeballing different things here than I do there.

Are you honestly saying that time spent talking lenses & technicalities on an interwebz forum is as important as that spent in a marriage/relationship?

You are the one who made the comparison first. Somehow discussing DPR anonymously in a thread about DPR on a forum whose name and logo references DPR makes you think of "jilted partners who have never gotten over their first boyfriend/girlfriend".

I did nothing of the sort. Comprehension. Use it.

"Like jilted partners" is a comparison. You think you posted something very deep or complicated, but it is very clear what you were saying.

Just pointing out the facts. Ghundred is a hypocrite. Comparing me to 8 year olds is not exactly friendly either.
