Pamela David
Flickr User: La Brujula SGO

If you click on the Quantcast widget in my sidebar you will find demographic information about my readers. Amazingly, the largest ethnic group reading my blog is Hispanic. Most likely the simple reason is that I have written a number of articles on South American beauties: Alicia Machado (Miss February 2006 for Mexico Playboy), Rita Guedes (Miss March 2006 Playboy Brazil), and Pamela David (March 2006 Cover Girl for Argentina Playboy).

I originally had collected a number of photos of Pamela David (quite a number of photos, actually) and posted them on Flickr which removed my account because, they allege, the photos violated their TOS. Fortunately I kept backup copies which are now available on my own server here (But don't look if you are shy - some are NSFW).

Because of the way I assiduously give attribution to those from whom I have copied images, I actually brought traffic to Flickr in the millions of hits during the first two years I was a member, so the loss is more theirs than mine.

I suggest that if you have photos up on Flickr consider moving them elsewhere since they may delete all your photos without warning and there is no way to retrieve them from Flickr if later you are able to show that they were mistaken in deleting your account.

Yes, Flickr is another company run by idiots. Here we have a system where if some moron making a little over minimum wage decides you are violating Flickr's TOS and deletes your account without warning, there is no earthly way for them to retrieve your photos. Who designed that bit of stupidity? No way to undo mistakes even if you are a paying member of Flickr.
