Doesn’t WMFW: Vimeo source content to be deleted

I was going to talk about file sharing and information sharing on the net, but I’ve just heard that Vimeo is going to start deleting source content of “free” users August 1. Download it if you don’t have it, folks!
They state they won’t delete the files they convert to Vimeo content for free users, but they can’t hold the “big” original files any more. It makes sense, but … that’s really short notice.
So, download it to have it, choose to upgrade your account, or just panic. And stop counting on “free” services as your only back up, if you have. :-) Good luck!
[TL;DR version - big files go in, little files are made. Big files will start to go away - back them up now and/or upgrade your account.]
For more cheerful WFMW tips, go see the host at We are THAT family.
That’s why I use uhm…I forget the name of the site. I’ll come back and comment if it comes to me. LOL
But yea. Don’t rely on free services. And if all else fails, use Youtube!! xD
I just got that notice too.
Bummer!
I sorta liked Vimeo!
Oh well.
if your using vimeo as a backup for your videos. sure it going to suck. if you use it like it ment to be then they shouldn’t bea problem. Anybody not keeping a back up on there own in this day of clouds is crazy. I make back ups of everything.
