DPR is shutting down in a couple weeks - Amazon pulled the plug.Hopefully the forum archives will get preserved somewhere, but I'm not aware of any obvious candidates that might have the resources to buy them from Amazon.

Amazon can go to hell...how much money will the save by shutting this down vs the joy and sales this site is triggering? Typical greedy management with no connection to the real world.Unbelievableto say the least...

Canon Rumors has forums that run deeper than just whatever the article of the day is.  Lots of threads to share images based on themes, based on gear used, etc.Biggest complaint is that it’s clunky and advertising intensive (with obnoxious pop up ads).
