Thousands upon thousands of old threads are going to be worthless now due to missing key pictures on dozens of forums including Fordbarn and the Hamb. Many warnings that this could happen have been given in many threads, yet people continue to use them - I just don't get it!!!

Sure TinyPic can go south also, so couldn't the earth by a meteor. I personally didn't care for PhotoBucket. I found TinyPic easier to use than any other place and....all my photos are saved to my own files anyway.
