rogers/flicker FTL!!

Dear Rogers Yahoo! customer,

We are writing to inform you that on July 1, 2009, your Flickr Pro account included with your Rogers Hi-Speed Internet service will change to a free Flickr account. The free Flickr service has many of the same features as Pro, but is subject to some limits.

Your existing photos or videos will not be deleted as a result of this change. If you have more than 200 photos in the free Flickr account, only the most recent 200 are displayed. Other changes include:

• 100MB monthly upload limit (10MB per photo)
• 2 video uploads each month (max. 90 seconds and 150MB per video)
• Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)

If you enjoy the full flexibility and storage capacity of your current Flickr Pro account, you can maintain your Pro account by subscribing directly to the service for $24.95 (USD) a year. Subscribe before September 1, 2009 and get two months free. Click the link below to subscribe:

We want to thank you for being a Rogers Yahoo! customer. It is our pleasure to provide you with an enjoyable online photo experience.

Sincerely,

Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet Customer Service

What a load of crap!!!

what about all the people who have 1000's of pics on it....now they delete all but the last 200. just a little ticked...stop offering it but you cant just cut people off...well you can but its just kinda low. flickr was a small perk for being over charged by this company

They aren't deleting the pics. You will be able to access them but they won't be visable to the public.

You won't be able to access any of your originals, just the resized versions. But if you decide to cough up the pro fee later, you'll have full access.

I thought it was just me that they were doing this to. I canceled my Rogers internet 8 months ago but every time I checked Flickr, I was still a pro.

In these tough economic times.....
