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--
Play Well and Prosper,

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.

Ack! Not a good thread to walk into... ...Unfortunately, it’s not just one’s
own photos being lost (if this is true). I keep copies of my MOC images on CD
ROM, and recent ones on my hard drive. But that doesn’t save the numerous MOCs
of other builders that I have bookmarked in an “inspiration” folder (I doubt I’m
the only one to do this). And I couldn’t count the number of hyperlinks I have
on various message boards, blogs, and websites that would now be broken.
Granted, I was relying on a free service to host my images to save on capacity
on my own sites, so one could argue I get what I pay for. But it’s still sad
and frustrating nonetheless (if indeed the service has been lost).
