LOOK AT THIS:

Updated: Tue Feb 12 10:57:30 AST 2002 PhotoPoint.com is currently offline.

Please check back here (www.photopoint.com) for further developments.

I would like to assure people that their photos have not been lost, and are safe. However, due to the bandwidth, hardware, and labour costs, we are unable to put the site online.

Please take a moment to answer this survey. Only surveys with valid PhotoPoint username/password will be considered. Your first submission is the only one that will be taken into account. Please answer honestly, so we can do what is best for the membership.

This information will be useful in determining how best to move forward in allowing people to possibly get their photos back and/or have their photos online again. We are looking at various options for finding PhotoPoint members a new home.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I'm going to have to go with option: If they are super criminals,they are hoping to scoop up the maximum numbers of $24.95 and again run with the money

Pure extortion of people who are desparate to retreive their only copy of photos.

Fortunately I have backups of all my photos that were there on CD's and zip disks sno great loss there.

The only regret I have is that I paid those SOB's for a full year of service and barely got three months out of them. Lesson learned is to keep backups of everything. We'll have to scour for other services where we can dump photos to attach in our posts.

These guys went to the same business school as the Enron executives. I say Screw them, don't give them any more money.
