I just got this on my AOL acct:

Dear AOL Pictures User:

We are sorry to inform you that, as of December 31, 2008, AOL will no
longer provide the AOL Pictures online photo service. We sincerely
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
They are also dropping FTP support (web sites)

I guess I will have a different Email address soon. I have had this
one for about 15 years.
I can host pictures at Trip-Reports.com for anyone here who follows
family type rules..

Because of spam issues if you apply for a login via the site, you must
follow up with an email telling what user name you signed in as, and who
you are.. at least what your handle is here, I do not require personal
ID. Just want to look at your posting history. Political views will not
be a criteria, only that you are not a spammer..

photobucket...easy, fast, cheap, no justwaitaloogy temper tantrums.

For about what AOL charges you can have your own web site.

I am currently buying/operating the site for our whole community and
it is only $39 a month. That is 400 gig of FTP space 400 mailboxes,
SQL support and a bunch of stuff we probably will never use. We are
thinking about cutting this in half.

You are paying WAY too much.

Looks like you could get substantially MORE for $15 a month



Yup, I inherited this from the board member who set it up. Go daddy
was one of the companies I am looking at


You can host here http://www.idesigns.net
24 hr tech support, real people etc..

Talk to Terri, she will set you right up.
