"a day late and a dollar short" so to speak. They finally figured out what was driving their site usage. But by now most folks have found other alternatives and deleted their accounts. I'm half there. I still need to download my pics and delete my account, but I'm currently posting pics from Imgur.

Spot on Frank, I think they've taken a very bad business decision. Like yourself, I paid to get rid of the ads, which means my old PB links will be in place until the end of the year, but I'm finding the direct upload works fine for me :thumbsup:

I never used PB for storage anyway. There are 12,000 knife images on my PC! :eek: :D

When I first signed up on BF I was seeing all the newbies really struggling getting a picture to post so I thought it would be a lot more difficult than it actually is. Whatever changes were made by BF were good ones, it takes a little getting used to but overall I find it user friendly :)

Jack... 12,000 knife images sounds reasonable ;) I often wonder if my computer was ever confiscated by the authorities what they would think of all the elaborately staged knife photos LoL :D

That PB fiasco ticked me off so bad that I just deleted every image and closed my account. Now I'd rather keep a paid membership here and just upload them. Wonder how PB is doing these days?

Yes, me too, they won't get another penny from me :thumbsdown:
 
So my son lives in NYC in Manhattan. I could not do it. But, he is in finance and that's the center of the universe. So, he lives in a Condo in FlatIron. He had some people in yesterday to repair a couple things. The knife I gave him last year is now missing. Damn!. I bought him a Case Copperlock in Abalone and had his initials engraved on the bolster. It more than just another knife, if you know what I mean? If it doesn't turn up, I will send him one of my Wall Streets, I think. But still. It sucks to have somebody walk out of your apartment with your knife! Anything but your knife!

Wow! That is Télévision française. Doubtful we would see anything relating to knives or anything similar on American TV.

I know it's not a consolation, and JP's remark about humour is spot-on, but thieves exist all over-even in small places and not just big bad NY et al. Few years back some workmen came in to drill some hole, I found a CASE Sodbuster had gone walking(well I suppose it might've been picked up with tools by accident...but it was the only pocket knife in the kitchen) Two days later I discovered that 3 bottles of wine had also taken a walk from my wine racks inside a cupboard! That settled it. But the problem is I will not confront people unless I have total proof, otherwise they're just going to shrug their shoulders and say you can't accuse me of thieving. Sadly true. Now I won't let anybody in unsupervised. Fortunately, the vast majority of people everywhere will respect a person's home when they have to work in it. This left a nasty taste though...:poop:

Well, I'd previously understood that Valhalla was where the bravest Viking warriors, chosen by Odin to aid him in his battle against the wolf Fenrir during the coming Ragnarok, were led by Valkyries to spend their days in its vast hall, made from spears and golden armour, feasting on magical boar meat and mead, and fighting, their wounds being healed each night, so they are fresh for more feasting and fighting the next day...

So I was a little surprised to see that it is in fact a quiet bar on a backstreet in York, where two middle-aged gents have a friendly chat over almost empty glasses :rolleyes: But, hey, call me a pedant! ;) :D :thumbsup:

I guess it'll be different during the town's annual Viking festival next month! :eek: ;)

Though the Viking warriors may have to lower their expectations in terms of the 'magical boar meat' o_O
