With DPR leaving, where can we take this party?

I hate to lose the community that has been so good and supportive over 22+ years. Is there another place to go which would keep this community alive and well?

Jeff, perhaps it's time to move on and for many to re-enter the real world but I know that's an odd concept nowadays.

A couple months ago a friend of mine and I started a local photo club. We get together monthly to discuss photography in person. What in these forums takes a hundred replies to questions and 99 of them with wrong answers is done in a few minutes hands on in person. In two months our club already has 30 members, with about a dozen actively involved. I look forward to each meeting with the new friendships that have been developed. The new paradigm of virtual meetings etc., may be the new norm for some but I see it as a social disease and our members seem to agree how refreshingly nice it is to meet people in person.

Theres no lack of gear reviews online so it's not the end of the world.
