Deleted photos—can someone explain why?

Quick question for the mods.
Why'd the pictures get pulled from this thread?

Was hoping to check out that Carson stuff in peace last night.

Cheers,

I talked it over with the author via DM. I noticed he had linked his personal Photobucket albums, which basically meant anyone could snoop through his private photos and find his personal info, so I gave him a heads-up. He agreed to pull the links and said he'd upload some new ones instead.

Just toss the key into the bucket and you're golden.
You guys overthink everything. 🙄

Alright. Thanks. Peace.
