[QUOTE="AC016, post: 388154, member: 9619"] No surprise there. I have forever questioned "photo dump" sites like Flikr. Just think about it: a corporation like yahoo is giving you a large amount of space, for "free". Nothing is free. I think in it's infancy, the people developing sites like Flikr, knew at an early stage that they were sitting on a gold mine. Obviously, Flikr is a great way to share photos; but again, nothing is free. This is why i have never gone the route of Flikr or similar sites. It's one of those things that i see as being to good to be true. Though, what are "photographers" supposed to do? Even if you develop your own site, you still take the risk of someone "stealing" your photos. However, you have more control with your own site i believe. If i were a Flikr user, i would take all my photos down. But does that mean that they are actually deleted?? Hmmmmm [/QUOTE]
