Drew, you should talk to someone conversant in IT matters, there may be ways to save copies of the pages offline or otherwise download all of your content and keep some semblance of organization to it.

Or, you could just buy picture trail...

RDD, thanks for all you.ve done. Remember no good deed goes unpunished. And the greater the good, the bigger the punishment.

If I were you I would contact a web developer and establish a web site and rent space on a server. Move all your content to a private domain site and server. Much less costly than you think. Our annual server rental costs for the Fox collector site is $100. Contact me if you want recommendations.

A great suggestion Craig... or do like the PGCA did and buy your own server. I'd be willing to chip into the pot to buy one.

Well stated Drew.

As has been shared already Imgur is decent, and I use it for posting. But in terms of permanent storage for myself? I always want that on my own external hard drive...backed up on a second external hard drive which isn't plugged into anything.

Upgrade both every 3 years or so...and no worries.

Sorry this doesn't solve your current fix.

Drew, I've saved every Reilly post and all the research on an external hard-drive - actually two. Nothing is forever on the internet except for certain intelligence services.

There was a great site a few years ago, militaryphozos.com that had some of the most extraordinary analysis based on open sources of events and capabilities as well as truly insightful history. It went belly up based on copyright issues and everything was lost.

Photobucket of course was the most egregious out and out shake-down ever seen on the internet.

And as a matter of fact, this site is not "forever" unfortunately. None of us are.

Gene, it's like paper vs computers. I remember when the Intel Community switched from paper locked in safes to "secure" computer storage . . . which hasn't turned out to be all that secure. I can remember looking at a lot of very old paper files. Seems that stuff never totally disappeared. Somewhere along the line, people made copies and stuck them into files. I've got binders full of 35MM slides I took over the years. Sold a lot of them along with articles to various hunting magazines. All of which reminds me that I probably should store my digital photos somewhere safe . . . if there is such a place.

I have somewhere north of 300,000 hi-res digital images (35+ terrabytes) archived on my own websites and on external hard drives. The only ones that I consider even moderately secure are the redundant hard drives kept in a safe deposit box. Memory is cheap - irreplaceable images are just that.
