Even though the attachments are supposedly coming back...
I won't say "never trust the cloud", but I will say, don't rely on a not-for-pay forum site, or any other service you're not paying for, to store your private data forever. This is not particularly about BN. It's also about Yahoo, Facebook, etc.
(Remember, there is no cloud. Whatever part of "the cloud" you happen to be using is just someone else's computer. Unless the someone else has contracted with you and promised to keep your data for you, with specified degrees of redundancy and reliability, your data is subject to the whims of whoever owns the server.)
