There are a few others, such as the Ardennes 1944 web site, which are also closing due to financial reasons (among others for the aforementioned web site's owner).
Many have no qualms about downloading all the photos, even using software to ensure the complete library is saved, without thinking of the huge bandwidth they have consumed. Most do not even say thank you, not that thank you pays any bills but it at least shows appreciation.
Another site is coming back and I already have heard complaints that downloading software is prohibited. Why not rejoice in the renaissance instead of complain that bandwidth limitations are in place?
So, donate time, money, or photos to these sites or see them go by like AFV Interiors, Ardennes 1944, Tanxheaven, and a myriad of smaller ones.
While what you may find on the Internet is free to you, it is not free to the web site owner left with the bandwidth bill.
Regards,
