I have a feeling that's what's driving the migration. The problem is that FB photos aren't searchable, and usually private as well. So they might as well not exist, as far as we're concerned.
You mean Flickr's Golden days are numbered? this is terrible..

Have you noticed this drop off in pics with other events as well? Would it likely be effecting Fremont, for example?
I'm also wondering if a lot of naked run pics might be going to facebook, as we have noticed a drop off in productivity there too (for example, have you seen any Renn Fayre pics this year?).

I'm inclined to think that a lot of Flickr users use facebook as well. Since these sites are so different, and because Flickr photos can be made private, I don't see Flickr exactly being replaced here. But I do recognize the growing power of facebook, and think that you are probably right.
