1 recent post showed imagebam pics loaded 9 weeks ago were now dead
Maybe dmca , maybe something else
Just checked a 2009 Zdenka Podkapova gallery which i downloaded a year ago
Half were dead half alive - same pics are still alive now
All imagehosts have been deteriorating over the past 3/4 years
Most of the missing pics can be put down to dmca notices for
random pic collection sites / blogs
1 report to an imagehost kills all copies of the same pic held there regardless of where they are uploaded to forum / blog etc
The cynic in me says hosts have probably been culling inactive pics that arent earning them revenue.When the margin between bandwidth consumption and ad-revenue starts getting too close
they only have 3 choices - cull , outages/maintenance or change the terms of service
Unlimited life without remaining active is a wet dream
