You may notice all my pictures have vanished into thin air...even my signature pic has disappeared. A couple weeks ago, Huntingpictures.net disappeared from the internet galaxy, thus taking every one's pictures with it, and they had thousands of members. There was a virus on Photobucket just prior to that, but they came back in a couple days. Still no Huntingpictures.net. After 2 weeks, I believe it is toast.
I've found a new site, but it will take awhile to reload all the pictures. There won't be as many as I had there, but I will replace those lost on this site and try to get them back on in their rightful place. It will take time.

Sounds like an opportunity to take some new pics 🙂 Too bad--I really liked a few of your pics you had posted here. I used them for reference when I was looking at other DW's.

What bummer, Dean. I often visited that site for reference. I remember going through it the first time. It took several hours. That's going to be a real task, getting all you pics reloaded. You have my sympathy.

That's a real bummer.
Even just the work involved to reattach them to a new site is a bummer.
I've been worried off & on about the same thing, if something should happen to my main pic host site. I've got around 3,500 pics on there (only maybe 400 of them are gun related) & most of them are linked to a dozen or more forums all over the place. I guess that's one of the perils of the interweb.
I plan on backing them all up one of these days soon, so most of them aren't lost forever if the site should croak on me. I should probably try to upload more of the DW related ones here, in case something does happen with my host site. I guess it's one of those hard to break habits.

You have my sympathy as I loved your pics. You have a big job ahead to recreate all the fine pics you had.

IHMSA,
I was wondering what had happened to your pics, that is very troubling. I know how long it took me to set up camp in Photobucket and I have only a few photos compared to yours. I do not envy the task in front of you, that is time consiming and never as much fun the second time around.

The good thing is that I have all the pics on my computer. The 4600+ that were on Huntingpictures.net were all re-sized to fit forums better. Thanks to CF, who reminded me that those same pics were linked to many other sites, so all those are gone too. Now I have multiple websites to go back to and try to redo those pics. Whoever did this to Huntingpics.net should die a long, very painful death.

I didn't even know anything happened at photobucket. They must have recovered pretty fully. Sorry about all the work ahead of you, and I think you must be working a lot lately, haven't seen you much here.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I didn't either. I guess I'll have to go there and see what happened.

Huntingpictures.net huh, sounds like something an organization that begins with P might do. 
What a bummer, you have one of the nicest, if not the nicest collections (my opinion) on the sight. Hope to see all of them back soon.

I just checked Photobucket and my rather minor league collection is still there. On a sort of related subject, I recently started doing a full (complete to OS and all files) backup of both laptops on a weekly basis. I use a Seagate Black Armor external drive, which worked out very well. It carries full recovery software, does a complete backup, and it goes in the fireproof gunsafe after backing up every Sunday night

Great, IHMSA's collection is always good for a drool fest when I feel the need for some eye candy.
