No Nick they are best cousins more than family.
Some time back we had several sources being used for image storage including the site itself which you could also upload to.
However a popular choice was Photobucket and they managed to perform a bit of a Ratner and so we needed a new source.
As phone camera make ever bigger images it was becoming more difficult to use the site upload function.
So other kind members of the site took pity on us petrol pron starved users and setup a parallel site which would replace photobucket and provide a free easy to use platform.
I tend to make an annual donation to each of them. It would appear that the main TM site consumes money a bit quicker by it's nature and the benevolent one hosting it takes care of us.
