#i guess the photos are being found via groups & tags. so maybe they're meant to be found.

forgottenflickr makes me really uncomfortable. flickr was not used the same as tumblr, where you upload everything for a general audience. many people used flickr just to host images for family & friends. there were privacy features like password protection or requiring a specific link to view an image, but if you didn't have an account that was likely to be found (like if you didn't use tags or groups, making your photos unlikely to be discovered), you were unlikely to bother figuring out the privacy stuff. sharing old pictures without consent, even if they're of nothing sensitive, just feels like an invasion of privacy to me.
