Maybe it’s been hacked? I can’t imagine he wouldn’t have given people a
chance to save their images.... :-(

I’m glad I kept all my pics--but like Maggie, I have a hard time buying into
the theory that someone would just shut ‘er down with little/no warning. This
has to be a hack job...I hope I’m right about this--

There was a thread a couple of years
ago where there was a suggestion on BS to transfer all your images to Maj as BS
was shutting down, so that should probably have been taken as a warning. Kevin
hasn’t mentioned anything about it since, the message was removed, and all
seemed to return to normal, so you can be excused for thinking BS was going to
stay.
It doesn’t surprise me that he’d pull the plug with no further warning. It’s not
like he’s been particularly interested in running the site for a long time. It’s
good practice to have all your images saved locally anyway.
