I have posted many images of knives etc. here that were hosted on FotoTime.com. I had been a paying customer of theirs for around twenty years, and had too many images hosted there. They suddenly went belly up March 10th, taking all of my images with them. I hope I can find most of them, but in twenty years I had a few hard drives go bad as well. I'm totally bummed.
I have stopped taking pics because it's just too much trouble to upload them. I wanted to start a diy wine making and brewing thread, but haven't because I don't want to upload pics to a hosting site.
Not sure why you're apologizing. You got screwed. Unfortunately this is starting to become a thing. I got hosed a few years back when photoshop decided to go full dueche. You realize you can upload directly from your device on this site by clicking the upload a file button below? No need for a hosting site anymore.
Biggest problem now is locating all those images. I'm thinking FotoTimes hosting service may have been the one in France that burned down? All these years I was thinking they had their own hosting equipment in Texas. I did a google query asking what happened to FotoTime.com and found this.
