I agree on the above analysis, sad reality. RCU is not much worth as one time (see for exhample the volumes of classified articles compared to others), so it make no sense to spend much of our time publishing on it when photo will be erased . Probably they chosed tu cut costs, but not communicating to users, I think is not the best strategy in the long run, but legimate, since most don't pay for this forum.
I tried to search on the
Wayback Machine but they don't have the most part of RCU photos stored...
I Joined Flying Giant today ( being already member of the other usual before mentioned groups). I would add to the list of nice forums also:
RC-network.de
it is in german, ok, but the translator built in many browser can make it usable to read/write on it
