Just been on the Alfreton site and see that their official gallery was also hosted through fotopic and not accessible. Their photographer has also gone with Flicker for the moment. There are some pix of Alfreton v Corby with plenty of shots of Butch in goal! Must admit that the photos are not up to the Shippy standard!!!
Fotopic seem to have a bit of an unstable background having gone down before and in May 2008, Fotopic.net was acquired by Snappy Designs Ltd which in turn is owned by ANY-Web Group.
The original creators of fotopic are currently developing a new site
www.pikfu.com but I don't know how good or developed it is but might be worth a look.
As far as I can see nobody seems to know what is going on at the moment with the fotopic site being down but there seems to be no official confirmation of the owning company going bust. Hope, for your sake, that it does come back on line at some point.
I feel sorry for those photographers who have 75000+ images stored on their servers.
By the way - some great shots v Gloucester. I suppose you had to use long exposures to capture the Gloucester time wasting tactics and a very high speed to capture any Gloucester football action!!!!
