So this morning I got a letter from flickr informing me I have to use a Yahoo ID to sign into the site now. I was sad to no longer be a special "Old Skool" member, but I actually have a Yahoo ID (though I don't use Yahoo for email, I do use the ID for groups and such, and everything just comes to my gmail account anyway) so I figured, whatever. But now I'm seeing all sorts of internet furor about this change, including comments that we're losing our flickr names! I like being wordnerdy and I don't want to be boring ark131! Flickr has been down for me all day, so I've been unable to verify that annoying things are going on.
Anyone else have any information or thoughts on this?
