Why Bikepics.com sucks
« on: September 08, 2016, 01:39:08 AM »
  Bikepics .com sucks. I have lodged my photos there for years and now I no longer have access to my own pctures.  Bikepics has made it so that I cannot access my pictures unless I join face book and twttier first.
 I clicke on contact us to ask why and found that I cannot even address bikepics without being part of fake book or titter or both.  I note that someone on that site has posted a lie about me and I cannot even address that without joining the new situation.  Well that only hardens my resolve not to join those two meddling companies ever.  I guess they have stolen my pictures.  Screw bike pics!

That's your cloud -- suck you in for free and then pay to play.  I've lost my place on contract lists because they went to f-book for all their job announcements.  "everybody's doing it."  No, not me.

I don't fool with that crap either and don't feel like I'm missing anything . Kids seem to like it though, so maybe we're curmudgeons

Join Facebook temporarily with a minimal amount of information...delet e your pictures on Bikepics using the access you just created, and then deactivate your Facebook account.

Pretty simple really...you'll leave minimal traces behind of information, you don't even have to upload a photo...and can populate minimal information.

Like RJPRO1 said.  Don't like FB but 'cause of business I participate with a minimum LOL last post was wishing a happy New Year!

Fake name, birthday, gender, school etc.  Open a free gmail account & use that.

Take care of business then abandon it.

And if you do it on a public computer at the library while wearing a tinfoil hat, all the better !!!

Make sure you're wearing gloves so you don't leave any finger prints on the keyboard.

When making temporary facebook accounts 10minutemail.com is your friend.  Get a free email address that has a lifespan of ten minutes.  Get signed up and forget it.  You can extend the lifetime in ten minute increments as needed. Pick a random postal address out of the phone book. Some have used the address for the postmaster generals office or the Federal Trade Commission (The guys that fight spam) et.al.  Leave no traces.

You're forgetting that all your keystrokes on any keyboard you use, anywhere, can be logged by TEMPEST.
