I've given this some deep thought, and come to the conclusion that many of the large threads in say the "Show N Shine" sub forum can
never ever be restored to their full former glory with all the photos.
Most people have not thought of the following...
Even if RussellW and his team find a way to replace all the links of photos you have uploaded to the new photo hoist (keeping the same file names) or even if space was made available here on the AFF servers...
Even if you were allowed for a limited period to edit only your build thread and replace links, etc....
Even if you pay the ransom of AUD$520 per year... Here's why it will never be the same...
The threads may also contain photos from other users in replies in your build thread which add valuable contributions and meaning.
Some of these users, may no longer be active members, or may not upload their photos to a new host (or can't be bothered, etc).
You won't be able to replace photos / links
of all the contributors to your thread... So your build thread will always have the annoying bad Photobucket links!
If you delete their Photobucket links all together instead... You have words in a reply that may have less meaning without the pics.
Show N Shine threads like "Show us your FGX" or "Show us your Mustang" complied from many many members, will never be restored completely.
