Who did some moderation and where ???
Not enough exclamation marks !!!!!
Sarcy rhetoric, where would we be without it ...
Not with y'all posting here ...
... I feel a conspiracy theory coming on ...
Will you stay here if DPReview revives?

😀 Well if you keep liking you own post's all the time, then yes you could well consider it funny for sure. Carry on.

So, now it's three of you. Donald, Dano, and Porky. Look at the thread name and then contemplate some. On morals, maturity, forum values. It would certainly help this forum. Lead by example. No? 😉

Regarding DPReview, only thing that seriously pulls me back is the (less than ideal) test scene with comparison tool. If anyone could do just little better, or even same, there would be no reason to stay. Video reviews mostly ruined it for me, unfinished reviews too. It matured in an unsatisfying direction.
-
The conversation was nominally between three participants, myself, yourself and 'Alfn'. To divulge the contents of a private conversation I would need the agreement of all parties. Can you give permission on behalf of 'Alfn'?
-
How do you believe it to be less that ideal?
The other problem with any site trying to replicate it is the size of the corpus of tests that DPReview has in there - still I suppose that could be filled with testing old cameras over time. -
Really? It seems that plenty migrated here immediately.
-
I suspect that what is happening here is that the two of you have diametrically opposed views as to the identity of the 'clueless bloviators'.
-
I see that the blue banner is back, along with the April 7th message:
Possibly whatever was going on has failed to resolve into something that would let the site continue. -
Honestly, identity doesn't matter to me. Only behavior. The "identity" is obvious when they use the same user ID, and rude behavior, as they did on another forum. However, even if they change their ID, the lack of social skills precede them.

But the sentence about people needing more time to access the site is pure BS. Amazon, while deciding what to do next, is wanting to encourage people to continue to post...

It's not back on my screen.

Just fyi, I've moved some of the irrelevant threads to the dumpster forum.

Nor here, no sign of it - I think Bob’s cache must have served that up from somewhere. It’s obvious they can’t say anything yet, but it’s equally obvious the site is staying.
-
Both ...

The banner was back for a few days, but they had still linked it to their older announcement rather than the one from 11 May - which still doesn’t reveal much except there’s no mention of the archive/shutdown process or progress.

The fact that DPR is still around likely means the closure date was just a deadline to obtain some concessions from whoever will be taking over. Final agreement in the works when reading between lines of their recent closure update. DPR is not going away. I will continue to peruse content but have in essence deleted my 15 year old account at DPR. (Deleted password out of disgust for their sudden heavy handed moderation and deletion of posts that violated no policy, I had never updated email address on retirement a couple years back and no longer have access to that hospital email account for recovery email should I ever change my stance!). I do find I am spending far less time and decreased activity on any forum.
I will continue DPRevived registration.
P.S. If you guys are the ones taking over I might look into restoring access!
-
Honestly, we are not. I certainly couldn't afford it - not sure how rich Bob is 😂😁
