Hey I don't want to be the voice of doom, but I think a lot of us are going to be Fcuked, with a capital "F"!
I refer to members such as myself who are not as computer savvy as some other members are, who only possess enough knowledge and ability to upload and post pics here at VEF -- but when it comes to copying, downloading and/or transferring one's files/images to another host that's where i/we fall off the train!

If you ask me, I think perhaps those hosts who are shutting down should first find and transfer all their existing images, files, or whatever they are called to another image host before pulling the plug instead of leaving everyone high and dry!

As a suggestion, I would be willing to pay a nominal yearly fee to an image host of perhaps $15-$20/year to host pics/images. I think it would be worth it considering how many pics one would post in one year's time -- and if it would help keep the host from going belly up!
