DPR shutting down soon. 😥 😥

There's been migration to a "new" DPR

DPRevived, but does anyone know if

there are any other mass migrations?
Was often helped by DPR forums
that covered all camera equipment
& techniques.  TIA (thanks in advance)

Hadn't heard about the 'new' DPR but I see that it's Digicam Finder:

Yes the forum could be handy as well though I've never followed or joined it. I've certainly found interesting and often obscure information there thanks to Google but would that even work if it was moved or archived? Way back in the distant web past Google had a separate tab for forums (can't remember what it was called quite) but you could find out all kinds of stuff about all kinds of things from all sorts of enthusiasts. Then that disappeared, they stopped indexing it I suppose, so you couldn't.

 

Edit - was it called 'Discussions'?

Looks pretty good already, the filters work very well, I always found navigation a bit of a problem on DPReview.

 

The new proprietor is also on Twitter:

A slight softening of their position, it will definitely be archived and they'll keep it active whilst they're working on how best to archive it.
