This has happened to other photo hosting sites as well in the past. There is a 5 year grace period where everything is free then the hammer comes down. It's a shame and a scam. A lot of historical research is gone.
Is there a way to post photos directly to this forum?
I agree it's a shame, but .......... a
scam? Hardly. We use something for free, they never promise forever, they never promise security, then we get mad when they change policies? Do we somehow
DESERVE freebies?
Kinda sounds like those who get on the welfare dole, getting something they never earned or paid for, then get jacked put of shape when it is denied them.
You get what you pay for ............ and in this case you paid nothing. Anyone who placed their faith in PB to safeguard valuable photos should have known better in the first place.
