I'm still using PhotoBucket for the moment, seems I've been given an exception for some reason and I'm not going to question it. Unless it has to do with the fact my account is as old as PhotoBucket itself. Flickr or TinyPic have also been around for ages, seems most are going to Flickr.

I can't even tell if my account is working anymore on photobucket as the site doesn't load correctly (except for the adds), and then the browser lags lol.

I've had a strong dislike of Photobucket the last couple of years but I've simply carried on because so many of my pictures were already on there. This gives me a good excuse to finally make the switch as soon as my links are all broken. I have a feeling that this will be the end of Photobucket.

wat
on my account it says I have only used 12% of the amount Im allowed
The most insane part of this is that they want $400 a year...
any ideas on the best way to rebuild threads after transferring the photos to another service?
(this of course could have been avoided if the photos were hosted on 6GC like alot of other forums do)

Well that or you give in to the ransom or painstakingly change out all the images after re-uploading them. You can click on their "no 3rd party" generic image and it'll take you to the actual image in the album so you know what it was, but it'd be a huge undertaking. I suspect PhotoBucket folds soon after everyone leaves and they have even less money than when they started this bs.

Imgur.
Only downside is that it doesn't size down to 1024x768 for you (which is nice for posting on forums). The upside is 56k warning doesn't exist anymore.

I just logged in to both of my photobucket accounts and downloaded all of my albums, then re-uploaded to my Imgur account in a hidden album.

Ended up going to Flickr since they have a mobile app for uploading and embedding links is fairly easy, though a little more finicky than what PB was. Plus Flickr is owned by Yahoo now so I doubt they'll pull a stunt like PB any time soon.

Flikr or imgur. I'll probably be moving to Flikr pretty soon myself.
I've been using my facebook as a host though on other forums, but for whatever reason, this forum isn't FB friendly when it comes to using photos linked from there. :\

Only problem is, how do you rebuild threads. I mean, it would be okay if you could see what pictures where posted where/at what time. but without seeing what you've posted, its really a crapshoot of which photo goes where.

I'm just going to leave the links broken, until someone comments on something they actually want to see out of my threads.
I donlt think that's very likely though, considering how dead we've been in the last few years.

The idea is that they will still have the potential to generate ad revenue off of your photos. Delete your account and take that away from them.

I understand that, but if things revert (which photobucket most likely will after all the backlash) and the photos do come back online for 3rd party hosting, you guys are just ruining this site more by deleting your photos and breaking more links. I know the forum is slowly dying out, but this just might kill it altogether..
It sucks that no one was able to backup the site before this all happened to save what we could and possibly have it in PDF form or something. Still a lot of info in text, but pictures help a lot.
