Good for you! I think I’ll delete mine, too. I don’t use them for re-posting, but thought them a safe place for family pictures.
I now use Flickr and they have tons of private space and they are repostable too. AND free! Well...and Fotki. That’s what I mostly use here.
I’m switching over to Postimage.org - so far everything’s worked and I paralleled them with Photobuckt in case.
