Won't happen. I think this is part of a survey to check popularity and evaluate the possibilities to sell that website or, -if it is sold already-, a preparation to come with "great news" on April 10th.

I posted this on Dpreview as well but it's only visible for myself, not visible for others. A moderation trick they use for years already, the same with signature, links or comments the staff doesn't/didn't like.
Only hallelujah comments are allowed, still now.

Moderation and anonymous members/posters have killed dpreview:

First of all, happy Eastern!

Secondly: The absolute best photography forum I know is www.belgiumdigital.com/ , with an annual membership fee of € 55
Language is Dutch.
Founded in 1999, it still works very well and is profitable.
Very friendly communication between members, sharing photography' passion, pictures and knowledge... No anonymous participation, I mean the staff knows "who is who"...

There is a topic on the closure of dpreview: *translation:* For free doesn't work, Dpreview closing.

TMHO the power of Dpreview was the classic written camera reviews section, **not** the fora.
