     @thomasfuchs @amyhoy Looks like Jason is getting tagged a lot and is aware of the DPreview situation. IA was my first thought, too. Phew.

     @thomasfuchs @tomdewar @amyhoy do we know how many terabytes? Are they willing to donate the content to the public?

     @pyrex @amyhoy@hachyderm.io @wesley83 @thomasfuchs we’ve already contacted them (and i’m sure not the only ones). they aren’t well set up for this kind of archive.

     @wesley83 @pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy@hachyderm.io my comment on reddit:

     Half the time I'm trying to learn something about an obscure old camera or lens, or a problem with one of those — like just recently googling how to get my Nikon 1 10-100mm lens repaired — I end up on DPReview. That's where I just learned about a guy in Taiwan who creates replacement gears and even services the lenses…

     I often get information from 10-, 15-, 20-year-old threads

     We need to save it… and we need to be able to search it

     @amyhoy@mastodon.social @pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy Just got up to speed. I will echo something someone mentioned earlier. The internet archive sounds like your best solution.

     @wesley83 @pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy@hachyderm.io

     absolutely.

     the key thing is that their editorial content is really valuable but the forums are 20 years of INDISPENSABLE community knowledge: history, hacks, ideas & troubleshooting for photographers.

     @wesley83 @pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy@hachyderm.io DPReview is really *the* photography site and has been since ~1999-2000.

     @pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy I'm clueless on this issue. Anything I can read to get up to speed?
