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.

That is some bull.shit. I'm glad I started converting everything to SmugMug a while ago.

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.
