Hello all, like Susan (and I suppose many more) I wasn’t aware that cost for hosting the pics was carried by a single member.
Thank you, Clay. I guess you had first offers of reimbursement and I would add mine to that. I just need to know who is able and willing to collect. If I give five dollars only 19 others need to do so and we financed a whole year on flickr for instance. Sending money to the other end of the world is really no problem with services like paypal existing. BTW: For making single payments paypal can be used without opening an account. I suggest this because while for some the pruning of the archive is a valid idea - and maybe some photos really are put up only to illustrate a current discussion - others cherish the idea of having an archive. And I suggest this because there are people working for flickr and those need to make a living and someone needs to pay for that. Server hosting does generate costs for machines, housing, and electricity, too. Let’s be aware of that and use it conciously. We are many, surely we can pay for a service that serves us well? But as I understood this, this is not the only problem. There is the collecting and billing needing to be handled, and also the work on the account to be done. If there are no volunteers for that, then the only option is for everyone to get their very own flickr accounts (or whatever) and host their own photos - for free - and put up a link to it in their signatures.
