DP Review status update
DP Review is being shut down by Amazon (its owners) effective April 10. IMO this is one of the best, if not THE best digital photo sites on the web, and its loss will be sorely felt.

Yes, it will be sorely missed!

I used to spend a lot of time there. I visited a few weeks ago for the first time in years and it was quite dead. So this isn’t surprising.

It's a shame that Amazon is laying waste to so many businesses. Now they've killed off a forum? I'll miss DPR - it was quite a resource.
Personally I frequent FredMiranda.com for my photo forum fix and being a serious sufferer of GAS the Buy and Sell is probably the best place to ahh... buy and sell.
