DPReview (Digital Photography Review) is a website and community on digital photography, founded in 1998.
On 2023-03-21, it was announced that DPReview would shut down on 2023-04-10.[1] Shortly before the deadline, on 2023-04-07, and after receiving a lot of feedback from disgruntled users, they rescinded the shutdown, announced that the site would 'remain available as an archive' in the future and would stay operational while the archival work was going on.[2]
ArchiveBot jobs for the forums (job:bx7denyrzxzvf07qnmwndveog) and the main site (job:36409i8ggu64yms55j33u89kt) were launched, but both got blocked. In any case, these jobs were unlikely to finish in a timely manner.
A DPoS project began in early April.
On 2023-06-20, it was announced that Gear Patrol[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] had acquired DPReview and that "the site will continue to operate as it was before, with all editorial coverage and site features remaining the same, and all historical content accessible."[3]
