Yes free hosts sucks, I do not use them for at least three years, because before this it was smut and many others. Only way how to protect your work is to have your own domains and everything backed up at least twice. Even it sucks that I lost all those blogs I did not do any work on them for years, so I have lost like 50-100$ a month not more and I think its better to put effort in some new projects than trying to keep alive this old stuff. And thumblogger blogs rankings sucked for at least three years now. The only weird thing is that someone puts so much effort into building it and than lets its slowly die..
I have learned big lesson in this business, do not ever put too much effort to projects that other people can destroy over night, because they probably will. Facebook, tumblr, twitter, pinterest and just all this.. one day you have there account making you thousands and tomorrow you have nothing. If I only knew this five years ago I would save myself few thousands hours of work. well, the biggest problem is that similar thing thanks to google can happen even at your own domains when you rely on traffic from G, but luckily when that happens you can start with old content at new domain and after fewm months you are back at old rankings without so much much work like building again network of blogs you had for example at thumblogger.
