I’ve just been told by an ex-user that Fotopic.net has unexpectedly sprung into life.

I still get a few of ex-Fotopic users come via this blog asking about recovering their images and because I am not involved any more in the slightest and have no control over any of the systems nor access to anything any more (that bit deliberately in bold), all I can do is point them at the company who acquired the assets.

It looks like very recently Fotopic.net started redirecting to Photo-Organizer.com, a domain owned by the same company who acquired those assets. They state “a facility is now available here for you to view and download your pictures hosted on Fotopic”. It seems to only apply to users whose name begins with A for the moment but this is a promising development and very useful for anyone who still hasn’t managed to retrieve their photos.

Big caveat just in case you didn’t get it the first time round: This is NOTHING to do with me, I haven’t got any other insight, this is purely an informational post. I’m as surprised as you are. Please don’t waste your time asking me anything about it.

However, if you’re after your Fotopic images, go give it a shot over at http://fotopic.net, I guess you’ve got nothing to lose so spread the word…

Edit: I have been beseiged by a steady stream of users who have forgotten their usernames, emails, passwords and all that sort of thing. I don’t have access to the database or anything else – the website itself has a statement and suggests if you have problems then to contact them. Why not try that?

Edit 2: There appear to be quite a few users who have had varying levels of success over on RMweb – they may be able to help in working out support as well.
