It's a business obviously the irritating adverts didn't pay the bills.
Behind the scenes a site like that would require huge bandwidth and that costs money.

How is this for an idea guys: we club in together and create our own member's only photo gallery web space. There is plenty of gallery software out there that runs on the Joomla or WordPress platform and I am sure we could find something suitable.
It could be set up for automatically re-sizing images to suit posting in TM and reduce bandwidth requirements. It would require some volunteer administrators (moderators). The hosting options and annual costs would have to be looked at. I think it could be set up that you would have to have a log-in to view and post pictures on the gallery but that hosting for posting TM would work.
In a case like this the images of past members would still be kept and displayed for as long as sufficient TM members were prepared to anti up for the gallery hosting costs.
I would be prepared to help set it up but I think that there are some logical reasons why it should be set up with nominal UK resident administrators. Perhaps some sort of nominal association or club so that the hosting and domain name is not in a single individual's name.
Of course this could also be set up in TM's existing web space too but would no doubt require higher hosting charges.

Good suggestion Peter.
I do not have the IT skills to do this.
But am very happy to pay an annual Sub to the Host.

All images on Photobucket now dispay an image which says "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting"  That applies to all photobucket images including avatars. Err not mine ..... yet Even logged out to check, although will be monitoring regularly.

Your avatar isn't on Photobucket Dean, it's here on TM.  The Avatar Picture was originally placed on photobucket then pasted into the Avatar bar, hence why i thought it might of disapeared, strainge i was attempting to upload and paste recently and photobucket would not work.....now we know why.
