missing pics

[Chrism3]

I have looked up a few posts in the Woodworking Pics forum, only to find that the pictures are missing. Some as recently as 2011.
Is there any point in keeping posts in that forum if the pictures are taken down?

You can always ask the OP if they still have the pics.
Apart from a couple of months of 2012 I still have all mine (~5000) on my laptop and as they are stored by year/date and topic I can usually find them very quickly.

There was a discussion on this topic a couple of months ago.

Post number 28 explains what was found and the limitation of fixing the old posts.
