    I’m happy to pay 65 euros to Flickr annually

    I enjoy the occasional pint of Guinness

    Flickr gives me unlimited storage plus access to its
    groups(I use a lot of the wildlife ones) for the price of a pint a month

    I agree Flickr its the best online photo site - be a shame to see it go - much better than 500px - and the groups and feedback are the best out ther in my opinion

    The point is it's rise in prices won't slow down.


    2 years ago it was $25
    last year $50 ... now it's $70 ....



    so long term it's not a solution, they have their users by the balls, people afraid to leave, in 5 years it will be $200 a year ...

    getting really worried for Flickr - ther obviously having financial issues since Smug Mug bought them - they are now pushing customers hard to buy a year and 2 year in advance , and saying if you dont you will be forced into monthly more expensive subscriptions to still avail of Pro - I bought for a year in Novemeber - but seams a real mess right now.

    MMM that doesn't sound too good - I have paid up for a year.


    Lost a load of images when Pixie disappeared off the scene- so don't want a repeat


    It seems physical back up is the only other 'safety net' - but then again a 1TB hard drive I had stuff stored on failed recently - but thankfully the local IT shop was able to recover the 'lost' data - but a new hard drive was required ( 100 euro )and a 60 euro fee
