picture perfect... or not

[dr4b]

Okay, I need a second opinion.

Recently I've been getting VERY frustrated at the way people seem to be taking my picture archives for granted, as if it's just an obvious thing that I'll go to events and snap lots of pictures and spend a lot of time resizing/editing/captioning/etc them and put them up on dr4b.org for everyone to do whatever they want with them.

Well, I'm getting sick of that, to be honest. Yes, I might just be having a really bad day (I forgot my keys, I'm stressed over this trip, I need to do my taxes still, I spent last night resizing pictures instead of packing, etc), but considering I seem to keep revisiting this theme, maybe it's time to do something about it.

So I basically nuked my entire pictures directory an hour or two ago. Whee!

The question is, "now what?" Your input is greatly appreciated:

Also feel free to post any advice. Whee.

I liked your pictures, but never "expected" them to appear because it's a volunteer thing. And I'm sorry that people stole them, and really except for password protecting the site it's something that sadly will happen.

I don't have any good advice that other people haven't already said. If you do choose not to put the pics up again, can I have a copy of the one of gootmu and I from last year? It's the nicest picture of me anyone's taken in a while.
