Don't know how widely known this is, I only just caught it mentioned on the radio coming home from work, but if anyone does or has used Flickr and have photos they don't want to lose... you have until tomorrow to save them.

Last Call: Flickr Starts Deleting Your Old Photos Tomorrow

Flickr, one of the best social media services of the 2000s, will begin mass deleting photos tomorrow, February 5. If you’d like to keep any of the photos that you uploaded to the service and maybe forgot about, now is the time. But you can’t wait any longer.

When Flickr was purchased by a company called SmugMug last year, Flickr announced that all free accounts would be limited to just 1,000 photos. You can purchase a Flickr Pro account for $50 a year, but with so many free and low-cost storage options available these days, it’s unclear why anyone would want to do that.

Unfortunately, there’s no one-click option to download all your photos from Flickr. But there are a couple of different ways to download your photos in bulk. You can download from the Camera Roll, which contains all your photos, in batches of 500. Or you can download from Albums, which contains photos you’ve placed into groups, in batches of 5,000.

(See article link for further download details.)

I don't know what's stupider, this or that stunt Photobucket pulled. Seems about tied.

Good thing I never used either one.

I read this as grindr and got real worried for a second.
