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).

the links issue is really too bad, it’s a hard reality of internets life. our
viclug site has a links and tools page that is heavy with brickshelf links and
it won’t be fun updating it. there’s a large array of folders locally here that
are cool images copied off of brickshelf and the likes but it’s sorted by
subject, so finding out the original creator will be nigh impossible. this can’t
be recreated as people won’t know the site is down for awhile if ever and the
archive nature of the site is gone.
plus as a fellow viclug’e pointed out this am, not sure if it’s been mentioned
here yet, that mocpages is crippled by this. the thumbnails still work as
mocpages generated the site, but the images are deeplinked. I’ve already noticed
some people’s avatars as broken links as well, this is a very widespread bomb to
be dropped. sure this is inevitable, maybe predictable, but still really sucks
and hard not to feel pouty about it.
