I think I've been using LJ's own photo storage since January 2006, but it means that everything I posted from when AOL dicked around with THEIR storage (where you no longer could link into it from outside of AOL), to when I started using LJ's is now not showing up. Of course, I also likely have nearly a thousand posts (I've made nearly 4,500 over the past 13 years) that used to have that little "BTRIPP" graphic on them that are now in need of re-coding. Bleh.
{edit} P.S.: To be fair, that was long enough ago that the e-mail associated with the account might very well have been my old main one, btripp@mcs.net, that ended up evaporating on me soon after Winstar bought MCS back in 1998. If I had started my WebLogImages account before that, it's quite possible that notification e-mails were going out to a dead box. However, my AOL account is still active, and (aside from the PayPal note) there was nothing in there from them.
