Question 1: Many of your early posts contain links to a Photobucket image that is no longer available. When I click on them, I get another version of the image below, which is from one of your posts. What does this mean and how did it occur?
Question 2: Here is the tough one. Since you are still active, why wouldn't you either fix the Photobucket account or go back and post your missing work directly? Believe me, you are not alone in this regard and I would like to ask that same question of a couple of other guys here but you were the unlucky one chosen! 
If you wish to ignore me, I will understand. It's just frustrating, knowing that I should have saved stuff but did not. Naively, I thought it would always be available here but I should have remembered the nature of the internet. |
Crawdad5000 answered question #1.
Question #2: Myself, I don't have a problem seeing the photobucket images or grabbing them since I used the photobucket embed fix. There is a thread stickied about it. Now I realize that isn't a possible solution for a lot of folks.
Also, I never considered myself a uniform creator etc. So I am quite flattered that this thread is still being used and people are enjoying the work. If I get the time tonight I will look into getting a google drive account to store the work, that seems to be what people are using.
Sorry for your frustration, once I post the stuff I pretty much forget about it. I'm sure that is what a lot of people do as well.
