Village Photos hosted many of my pictures for several years and then mysteriously simply cut me off. I've written them several times regarding restoring my acccount, but they don't even bother to respond to my emails.

Yeah, I know the service was free and I guess I'm getting what I paid for, but their complete lack of responsiveness puts them on my bad list. :thumbdn:
 
That happens regularly with free photo hosts -- they just disappear without a trace. I hope you kept copies of everything on your own computer (some people don't, believe it or not....)
 
Village Photos has not disappeared. If Razzierb's account can be viewed by the public, and has a lot of photo's of knives, it might be that Village Photos has received complaints. Without a response from them to the emails that are being sent, it is impossible to know why they closed the account. You would think they would be willing to explain why they took the action the did.
 
Village Photos is definitely still there and an ongoing business entity. I had a relative handful of knife shots (around 30) on their site. I suppose as Keith suggests, that VP could have cut me off for content pursuant to complaints, but to not answer emails and to offer no explanation for their unilateral action is why I'm posting this thread.

I actually did lose a couple of pictures that I have no replacements for pursuant to a couple of computer / hard drive swaps over the last few years, so I remain a bit disappointed in VP's performance.

I think perhaps Village Photos may be biting the dust....

It's a real shame. I'm not happy about what has happened, but they gave me good service for 3 plus years. Perhaps this is simply going to amount to a major server upgrade, but I'm still hopeful for an answer from them. And yeah, ... I did have a handful of pics from a couple of computers back that I cannot replace..
