$400 is probably based on them believing around 10% will take it up, as $40pa sounds about right for <500Gb online storage cost price.

I'll have some of what they've been smoking, please!

There are a lot of sites, particularly in the blogosphere and forums, where all of a sudden, images will just disappear.  So its not unreasonable to assume a 10% take up...  ...users are held by the short and curlies 

Imagine, for a second, if all our guide images were on PB...  ...we'd have to pay, and certainly would be less willing to move to another free provider in case it happens again   (although that would be Jimbob's problem )

Well, if you've built a site around images hosted on a freebie provider then you deserve a good fleecing but the vast, vast majority of PB subscribers must be punters who post the odd image on a forum such as this and who probably wouldn't give a toss if the images disappear at some time in the future, so I think 10% is slightly optimistic.

You'd be surprised how many do it.  Even real businesses, who should know better...

That's me.

I've just gone and pretty much emptied my PB library, I'm not bothered about any links that still exist to those images. In fact, those that are here on OOF are probably better gone !
