I hate to see 80% of my old photos going back to 2005 disappear from their original URLs... but I don't hate it enough to pay $50/yr forever. If I could pay them $100 today to freeze my account forever and never have to think about Flickr ever again, that would be great.

They could grandfather everything and just restrict future uploads (and maybe they should have depending on the financials) and the day would have come when a change of ownership or financial distress would have brought the whole issue up again.
