Photobucket has gone full retard

No more hotlinking/3rd party hosting unless you pay a ridiculous fee of $400/year. This has ruined so much good tech, diys, how-tos, build threads, ride threads, etc. :censored: :censored:

I had switched over to SmugMug a few months ago, but everything I had posted before that was on PB and now all those pics are down.

I use SmugMug. I sure hope they don't pull the same sh*t.

They have so many users it will take some time to get to all of them. There's an internet full of angry people. I guarantee the ploy to hold images hostage is backfiring in their faces. From free to $400 USD yearly is quite a jump. Phuck them raw. I deleted all my images save one for them to babysit. And this is it.

They can't get ad impressions from embedded images and their business model must be getting hammered. So glad I started with SMugMug and have stayed there.
