#14Dpreview.com died when they got taken over by Amazon. Maybe the forums were worthwhile for a while after that, but the main site sure wasn't. Bigcorps just don't get what makes their acquisition targets tick.
And it's not the first time that a niche-expertise site was killed by a conglomerate. I'm still pretty salty about Google strangling Zagat, to mention just one similar case.

#20Wait what? How is it possible considering that the site is one of the most well-known resources for camera/lens reviews?
"The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content. "
Are they taking it offline too?
