Thanks for your posting, the days of free image hosting may be short lived. According to Photobucket's press release, advertising revenues are no longer sufficient to support the cost of their free hosting infrastructure and service. This realty may find its way through to the other image hosting providers who rely on advertising alone. I was quite willing to pay a fee for reliable, robust and secure image hosting, maybe in the range of $50-$100/year however when Photobucket changed their terms from free to unlimited image hosting and storage to a $400/year subscription (and nothing in-between), it became uneconomic.
