I received the same message
It's no big deal, it's fair game, right -
Not complaining.

I didn't receive the round-robin letter /email canvassing for votes as I’m not a member there. lol
but… I sure did vote in the poll at dpreview, days ago.
www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4706996There is already a great bunch of photographers and digital camera enthusiasts here, and I’m really excited about the future for this community, dprevived.
Everyone has their destiny.
Think of it as a process of natural selection. more lol -
The votes are 3-1 in favor of DPRevived. DPRforums main selling point is they have the “look and feel” of DPR forums, but at the end what matters is the double C... community and content.
I still don’t know if DPR is actually closing or if all that is just part of some kind of stunt. Their latest article is supposed be “part 1” and more are coming, so the April 10th closure was not true?
-
I still harbour the suspicion that the blurring of the the closure and the removal of the “Closing 10th April” banner suggest that there might be a sale negotiation in progress…
-
There may be a stay of execution, but, as far as I am concerned, and until we hear otherwise, dpreview is on death row.
-
I wondered about that closure. So, the 'zon needs cash? Then look for interested parties. A few millions are better than none.
-
I think somehow they will keep the shop open, but I have no interest in participating there anymore. I am done with the arrogance of some of the staff, Chris and Jordan are gone so are Gannon Burgett and Carey Rose (which I enjoy their articles and galleries) so there is not much left IMO.
-
Ditto. Even if the come back…I won’t be going there anymore
-
I was today in a conversation on old DPR with whom I think is the owner of dprF about what I find intransparent about their plans for moderation and he insisted there was more than he could tell.
And the current text on old DPR about keeping accessible for archiving is as clear as mud.
Still why would Amazon reconsider? I am pretty sure not because of the muttering of the crowds.
-
I find some things hilarious, like Richard Butler’s attempt to come up with a new terminology for sensor sizes which was a total flop 😂
-
Ya, that effort was doomed from the start. Considering how useful it is for companies to keep sensor size terminology as confusing as possible, especially on the smaller end ("Wow, a 1 inch sensor? Like, diagonally? That's huge!"), they might as well have been fighting windmills.
-
That was funny!
-
Rumor is that DPReview is not only going to survive but it will merge with Petapixel and F-stoppers!!!!! The new name will be DP-F-Pixels.com. It’s quite catchy, IMO.
