I am wondering if I embed them, will they stay free of the photobucket site or will the link back to a (future) non existing site make them gone forever?
Update Oct. 3, 2021- I'm closing down photobucket, but I did save a lot of the photos...from one site at least.
The 2005 photos from that photobucket album are here now: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qTQpHAFQwKgeSqpf9
