@thomasfuchs @amyhoy Perhaps @wesley83 might be able to help you?
@pyrex @thomasfuchs @amyhoy I'm clueless on this issue. Anything I can read to get up to speed?
@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.
@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.
@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.
@amyhoy@mastodon.social @pyrex @amyhoy @thomasfuchs That's sad to hear.
