20 years down the crapper!
27

It took me 20 years and 5 months to get to 1,000 posts on DPR.  I don't think I've got another 20 in me!

Will miss my daily stop to see who has cooked up another reason to argue about equivalence.

Hope to see you all again sometime.

No equivalence needed

Micro four thirds cameras are the best and that's final!

Hope to see you all in camera heaven, we'll make fun of the FF people together!

IMO, it would be a blessing if equivalency died and was buried with DPR.

23+ years here

I created an account here over 23 years ago at the beginning of 2000, but I had been reading since 1998.

I will miss DPR greatly.  Gary0319 - I agree wholeheartedly with your last pos!

Peace.

I hope you can store all the data and place it somewhere else ..because otherwise all info is lost.... or sold to google.. i assume.

I didn't realize people posted so very little. I'm at 12944 now. I may still get to 13.000...

20 here also...

But I took several long breaks where I posted little.

Amazon should sell it.

This reminds me of a Gordon Gekko move.

I'm heartbroken.

DPReview taught me so much.  There was rarely a question asked that didn't get an answer.

Hoping the content will be taken over by an equally dedicated group to keep it going.

No offense intended to you in particular, but I only posted when I had something intelligent to say.  Perhaps a comment on my low intelligence?

Keep site accessible, even if we can't add to it

I wish they would keep the website up with all the reviews, forum posts, etc. Even if we can't add any new posts. I have posted a lot of stuff here over the decades and so have many others. Some stuff from other people I sure hate to lose access to. Also, I hate losing access to all the reviews and articles here. Being able to search for posts I remember from times past, send links in email to other people, etc.

I'm just a couple of month shy to 20years - and probably belong to the minimal posters here (don't even know where to look up those stats)

There must be somewhere else for grumpy old gIts?

Where else can we go and froth about petty issues?

Twitter I suppose?

Do remember that 1000 posts on this forum is worth 2000 on one of the full-frame forums!

20 years and 5 months, and 1000 posts is 40 years and 10 months, and 2,000 posts in "full frame" equivalency.

Now everyone is scrambling to find a DPReview equivalent.

I won't miss the toxicity.

I'm really enjoying Mastodon. It's so "adult" and global, without the nonsense. Search for #microfourthirds.
