I received the following email today, did you?

NOTE: This email contains information about your PhotoPoint account:

Account Name: XXXXXXXXXX
Account Password: XXXXXX

This is a one time email, and you will not be put on any mailing lists.

As of December 14th, 2001, Pantellic Software, creators, owners, and operators of PhotoPoint.com were forced to cease operations due to financial reasons. PhotoPoint Corp USA similarly entered Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in July of 2001.

There are currently no plans to bring PhotoPoint.com back online, although we are always interested in discussions from interested business partners for doing so.

CD Ordering Now Available ------------------------- Due to the demand, as a means for members to get copies of their photos, we have arranged for them to be able to purchase CD's of their PhotoPoint accounts. As Pantellic is insolvent, this is being done by a third party.

This offer a short term offer, and will only be extended until May 31st, 2002. All orders must be placed by this time (and payment received by June 15th at the latest). The cost of a CD is $24.95 USD plus $9.95 USD shipping and handling, and includes all of your photos, captions, and guestbook entries. (This is half the price of archive CD's avaialble from other photo sharing sites.)

CD's may be ordered by visiting http://www.photopoint.com

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and hope that this option is useful to people who may have neglected to keep their original copies.

I don't know about YOU guys, but I'll be ordering MINE today..........NOT!

Imagine, paying to get my OWN pictures back!!!!

[Howlin]

FYI.

[Howlin]

Lookie here.

[IVote2]

I can't fathom this, but some people didn't save a copy of their photos. This is probably the only way they have of getting them back.

(I burn CDs.) :0)

[firewalk]

I also had an account with them. They can keep the CD.

[Howlin]

Fyi.

[Howlin]

I cannot believe it either. I had an account, but have the copies!

[Howlin]

I'd like my money back.

[firewalk]

Don't we all...Luckily, I backed up all of my pictures too.

[Snow Bunny]

ROTFLMAO

A BIG NOT is right Howlin !!!!!!

[Howlin]

Did you get this email? I nearly died laughing! Pay for my OWN pictures? If they were decent people, even though they aren't giving our money back, they'd open the site for a day or two and let people get their OWN pictures off the damn server!

Imagine, paying to get my OWN pictures back!!!!

Imagine, paying to have someone use their storage to store your pictures. Un-American.

(I burn CDs.)

Is that some sort of hi-tech digital hómage to "Farenheit 451"?

[abner]

Wow, I just sent them a flaming email back telling them where to put their offer. I come here, and I've already been pinged to this thread. LOL!

I still have all my photos, I just wanted the captions. I used Photopoint more as an inventory system for ebay. When Photopoint went down, my inventory was gone... Oh well, I know better.

Every internet account comes with 5 to 20 megs of free storage and will give you a URL for it all. Why not use that?

[Howlin]

Well, I was too dumb to figure it out, until hole_n_one explained it to me. Now I do!

[Howlin]

(I cannot believe how easy it is with that FT thingy!)

[Howlin]

LOL!
