Photo bucket (forever?)

[Paul]

Do I have to keep the Photos on Photobucket forever? I ask because I just deleted a photo from my album there and it disappeared from the forum

Yes, you have to keep them up.

A picture has to be stored somewhere for other people to view (download) it. It doesn't magically stay on 'the Internet' forever. Same thing goes up for the forum, all posts, users, etc are stored in a database (where I pay for). How else could data be stored?
