Well, add me to the list. Webshits deleted about TWENTY of my albums on my 'discoteque' site - ALL of my Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam albums - gone, POOF.

I just made all of these albums PRIVATE!!! So WHAT THE F--- are their parameters for pictures? If I borrowed a picture, I posted it; otherwise, what could I do??

Does anyone have the weblink where we can send them email? I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind.

But if I find out who was narc-ing on those of us who have/had Webshots pictures, I'm gonna kick yer ass!! (and I'll get Sicy to help me)

GRRRR....

the same thing happened to me! i can understand your anger and frustration with that f*cki%g site!

i don't get their system either, for example i d/l a screensaver of the joshua tree from someone's album....i know the pics were taken by anton corbijn, and i don't think that webshots album belongs to him! so WTF are the doing picking on us?!??! their whole systems works on ppl contributing to their 'communities' in the same manner we were and most of those pics on webshots are 'borrowed' from somewhere and imported to webshots!
that is what gets me pissed of, those wankers!!!!

I'm with all of you! This whole Webshits thing is so stupid. They deleted 5 of my albums a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't believe it. One of the albums that got deleted was titled "Oct 13, 2001 - Hamilton" and was filled with pics that my friend and I took of the concert. Now if I don't have rights to those pics, I don't know who does! Up until then, I kept my account updated with all the new pics I got. And now, I don't even bother. Webshots was the best way to put your pics up on the net (the other sites seem to have limitations) and now they go and pull this on all of us. This is so lame.... I just don't know who would be behind this. But if I ever find out......

I anyone finds out how to contact Webshots, please post it. I am totally up for writing some serious letters on behalf of the PLEBA girls.

I am SO f-ing sorry Disco. You know I feel your pain, anger, frustration and devastation because I lost everything. They are such assholes, it's horrendous and disgraceful. We are not hurting anyone or ripping anyone off. We just want a place to store our pics so we can post them! The same pics floating around for years, everyone has them, big deal! I can't stand it! What is up their butts? I sure hope they do get their butts kicked, and also the person(s) who are ratting us out. If it's true it's a SHITTY thing to do and I hope they rot in hell, after having their ass kicked.

Guess there is no need to start again and lose them again. I had just made all mine private, and I didn't lose anything for days, then I got wiped out. I would recommend everyone make theirs private and don't post your addy but that doesn't even help now. Do you think if we all got together and emailed them and explained we are a club of girls who only want to collect and post U2 pics only for the viewing pleasure of ourselves and each other? We could try support@webshots.com for all the good it will do.

Once again Disco my deepest sympathy girl.

I'm sorry to everyone else who has lost pics too. Everyone beware, it looks like all out terrorism against PLEBA girls.
 
Knowing my hot Irish temper, if that had happened to me i woulda killed someone by now.

Nevermind email addys. Get their home addys... MUA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Maybe you guys have already seen this, but I only check this particular email account infrequently, and I found THIS...perhaps we will have better lunch with the new "owners":

I really do not understand wtf is going on with the website. i currently have three albums that are listed as private, and they have yet to touch those( now that i have said that, someone will probably delete them next). As I have stated before they deleted two of my other "private" albums because they said i had copyrighted photos in my albums.
Disco, I am really sorry to see your account got hit as well. Webshots sucks and I think we all should send them a piece of our mind!

I'm having problems with Webshots, too... I can't get the pages to load up. I may have overloaded my account. Who knows.

I tried that dotphoto thingie... seems to be working pretty good - you can download six pictures at a time (one side of pic files, and the other six slots for MP3 and such) - only thing is, to view pictures from that site you have to be a member. I think. I dunno. Too tired right now to figure it out.

Still, Disco, can you try the dotphoto account? it seems to be a cool site.
