If all they care about is money then deleting the website gives them how much money? $0 exactly, therefore I'm willing to offer 1$ which is infinitely more to buy the site. See, everything isn't...

You do realise this site was running long before Amazon bought it? It doesn't take a trillion dollar company to run a site like this lol.

Let us know what you hear back.

It's public info, save the forum!!! How large can some text be? (unfortunately the images might have to go perhaps?)

This tbh.

What would it cost just to keep the site running in read-only mode for a bit longer like a year or two is reasonable I think, should be really easy for Amazon?

Nooooo, why?! Literally best place to discuss digital photography. ;(
