BradW's photo links on the Truck Camper Forum
Over the last 20 years I have posted 1,000's of photo links on the RV.net TC forum. Everything from how to disassemble a Rancho 9000 shock to vacation photos. All those photos were hosted on Fototim...

Sadly, you cannot rely on paid or free services to retain your pictures or data. If you do not keep a backup yourself, you may lose those files forever. I am currently dealing with some backup failures myself even on the local level. Luckily I have the original files, but my alternate location died...
The photos I had on Fototime go back 20 years. I don't know how many photos I had on there, but I would estimate about 8,000 to 12,000. I never relied on Fototime as a secure backup. I'm pretty sure I still have 99% of those photos on multiple backup locations/devices.
What bugs me are all the dead links out there now. I use the internet to research many things and I hate finding the perfect thread/post only to see the photo link is dead. I was just on a welding forum and a guy had a link to the Victor tip chart showing the acetylene flow rate for each tip size/pressure. Must have been there in 2006, but gone now. :(
I still have the photos, but there is no way to go back and fix all the dead links.
