    Default Photobucket

    Anyone here making the jump from free to the $400 annual fee for 3rd party image hosting?

    I ran across a thread on a different forum and people are losing their shit.

    F Photobucket, i'll switch to another hosting site like flickr or the such. I see Photobucket taking a bath on this deal and losing a ton of traffic.

    So far, everyone I have seen comment on it is deleting their account.

    amazon hosting seems to be the next wave for image linking. Most that have amazon also have prime as well, using that with bucket explorer can make it work.

    Haha, Photobucket is in no way worth that kind of money.

    Cool

    I used Photobucket for many years, then a little over a year ago
    Photobucket got horrible!!!

    I have been using Imgur (free) since & it works great.

    Some Imgur's uploads...

    I think PB is hammering nails into their coffin at a cyclic rate.

    I just went thru some of the threads in the photo forum and there are a ton of missing photos.

    If the members who posted those don't pay the $400 PB fee those photos all have to be re-added or remain a broken link. Think about all of the forums on the web that will now have missing photos due to this. As someone posted in another forum, "PB found a way to break the internet..."

    Angry

    I just spent the last hour saving a few photos and
    deleting hundreds of photos from PB. My internet
    crashed every 2 mins or so trying to do it!!!!

    I hate that site, will not be going back again after
    tonight.
