Could the fact that this photo has disappeared confirm Driver's concerns on another thread?

OK, so PB gets bought out (or Flickr or any of the others), what's to prevent the new company from leveraging their new position from changes the way they function? They're not in business to lose money. All the people with free accounts and old pictures 3-5+ years old are going to be the first to feel that pinch. Heck even a simple change to the way their database functions could inactivate millions of picts. I've been on the receiving end of that with a ISP in the past.
My whole point is, for temproary sharing those sites are fine, they have their place. For archival storage the club should have something permanent and independent. Maybe I'm just taking the cataloging, security and safeguarding of our history too seriously and discounting the stability of some of those other sites.
