I hung out on their Pentax forum before John told me about PDML, there was some 
really silly fracas about a squirrel, I think.

Thanks Cotty!

Yes, it's sad to see DPReview close down. It is one of the services that I used 
regularly when seeking equipment specs. I don't spend much time looking at 
reviews, but Chris and Jordan do a good job there too. I thank them for their 
efforts, and wish them well in their next endeavors. I understand they might be 
headed to PetaPixel.

Such things have happened before. It's always a bit of disruption and then, 
over time, other services take up the slack. 25 years! I remember when DPReview 
started up … guess that means I'm getting damn old. LOL!

I agree. Their forums were sometimes interesting or helpful, too.

That’s a shame. It was an asset. Detailed reviews and accurate analysis.

DPReview to Close Down

I was going to write ‘OT’ in the subject line but actually DPReview have said 
some very good things about Pentax to date…

They are closing the site down - a crime!
