If you did not have a lot of photos linked to forums they all should have come back.
AFAIK all of mine have but I had less then 100 photos.
When you get to the lowest paid level, they will again vanish until you pay.
A typical case of an MBA being allowed to become a manager and not understanding how his spread sheet management plan did not work.
Very common now days that the money people have stopped becoming advisers and pretend to be managers.
My pictures have all come back as well, and I have definitely more than 100. And I'm not paying anything... Looks as if they have become sensible again.
Well if you are a $ 100,000 + CEO with an MBA or a $ 500,0000 + director and you want to increase the value of your company it is easy.
You have 500,000,000 subscribers so you just get them all to pay $ 300 each, I mean it is simple, who would not pay such a paultry amount .
Makes perfect sense to the board members and works on a spread sheet.
