I know most of you won't want to pay a monthly fee, (and am I correct in assuming that Imagestation and others like it let you upload for free?) but you could always consider buying space (e.g. your own domain name). You can do this through Yahoo for 11.95 a month. I'm not promoting Yahoo, mind you, just giving you an example. I have my own website and I have that through Yahoo for that 11.95 so I keep all my PetTalk images on there, it's guaranteed to be there for as long as I want to keep them there because I "own" that domain/space. And it never goes "down".
