My photos are unavailable to Youhoo!

Flickr is one of the few web sites, I'm was paying for. However, my Pro Account expires 2nd July, 2007, and I'm not going to renew it. Flickr once was a cool web site, then it got bought by Yahoo, then it got slow and now it patronises me. It may not be Flickr's fault, that Germany is close to Singapore, Hong Kong or Korea when it comes to freedom of information and censorship, but I'm not going to pay for being restrained.

There are dozens of alternatives like Zooomr, Photobucket or the german Fotocommunity. There are also dozens of applications out there to host your images on your own server, so I'm not only not renewing my Flickr Pro account but cancelinged my Flickr/Yahoo! account. The only open question to me is, where my peers may most likely hang around. If your open question is how to get you photos out of Flickr, you may try Flickrdown.

You may comment here, where you are going to hang around in the future.
