So now what? All photos are gone? One of my favorite things on FGF was checking out the other birds, works in progress etc. Sometimes going back years to reference correct assembly pics and finding encouragement viewing completed projects.
The pictures that were posted using this forum's "attachment manager" feature or image hosting providers other than Photobucket should still be available in past posts. I have started using the attachment manager here for all new posts. Photobucket was just a major wildly used service so several people here were using it.
Who knows, some of the people here may pay the PB $300/year fee to still use their site.
