So it looks like photobucket has pulled the rug on all of its users and is essentially blackmailing folks to get their photographs in storage back. For us forum users using the service to post images it is quite unfortunate, indeed! All old posts containing photobucket-linked images will now instead display broken links (including signitures and avatars). The worst part is in order to activate image hosting they are asking for 400$ PER YEAR. Yes you read that right, 400$!

I've got a ton of photos in my account.

They used to be great but are now [Bleeeeep!]. They've put no resources into their website and apps to make it a better experience for the end users.

I personally hope they go out of business.

I got an email from them detailing the changes and asking for $400.
Since then, it doesn't work.
That ain't going to be happening....

From reading a few articles their filtering of users/images has been inconsistent at best. Some people, and also some older files are unaffected...they're going to crash and burn with this stunt absolutely. No way in hell will anyone pay 400$ a year for image hosting.... sh!t you can stream almost any TV program at home for about 20% of that cost....


Good riddance Photobucket. Have fun dying.

sounds like they know who can afford 400 bucks and who's on welfare...
