Flickr Forces Old Skool Members to Use Yahoo Accounts

Insanely popular photo-sharing site, Flickr now forces its old skool users to use Yahoo Accounts for logging into Flickr. The company has set a deadline of March 15 for its users or else they will revoke the site access.

This disappointed news made old skool members to post more than 500 negative comments on their site forum says a report BBC News including the Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales. A Frustrated old skool user commented:

Why are the Old Skool members being treated like second class citizens on this issue? We are the community that made Yahoo buy you guys.

Old skool members are worried about Yahoo account’s session timings which expire now and then, when compared to ordinary old skool logins, that lets you stay in until you delete the cookies.

    And, by the way Thilak, you might want to change "...they will provoke the site access..." to ...they will revoke the site access...
