Mine still works

I post plenty of pics and noticed my signature pic went away.

I may start using Google as they are pretty reliable. Where are some of these other 3rd party image host guys gonna be in 10 years? Sucks to lose the old threads and pics- but honestly i'm probably not willing to spend more than $20 a year to keep 'em- so the $400 ransom ain't getting paid.

Gotta wonder how they arrived at that number?

Got this email from Photobucket this morning...

I've been running w/ Fotki for close to 10 years and it works fine also seems cheap enough?
I seldom use it also usually upload images here directly to the site as they seem to last waaay longer although aren't easily manipulated once uploaded now like they were before the recent update.

Same thing happened to me. I can't imagine many people will caugh up $400 per year when there are lots of other options. Photobucket owns a few other hosting sites as well so be sure to avoid those when switching.

I hate the fact our options are to shift to a new host AND the nearly 20 year old forum loses many of the pictures in a significant amount of it's useful threads.

The other option of paying $400 annually ain't gonna happen. I would considering paying something though.

I hate to say it but that is one of the reasons I began to uploading directly to sites. Got tired of pb over a year ago and started going this route. Only other option I see is to have your own website to link from.

So many threads with historical data on them here & on so many other boards are now useless!

Thanks Photo Bucket!!! :mad:

I moved to Flickr last year. Too many issues with Photobucket. They're digging themselves a big hole with this kind of crap.
