Photobucket demanding $399 to link to third party sites

[2mAn]

So I went through last night, downloaded two albums, fixed my old Zinno ES thread and also saved my F40 album pics, moved it all over to Flickr. Tried to keep the momentum going but then when I went back to photobucket it put that stupid image on my pics IN my OWN album....

Fuck.Photobucket.

Yeah that doesn't sound like it will be defunct before any of the other well-known, established services at all.

Agree with everyone above. My build thread had the image links broken.

=(

Photobucket has single handedly ruined just about every thread on this forum. Should of listened to people when i started my threads and used imgur

[FireFight]

Yeah, this will go down as when alot of build threads and How-to threads died.
so many build threads I have tried looking at are almost pointless now.

Just wanted to post in here to say fuck photobucket. I've hated this website from the beginning.

I was just looking through old build threads to see how people mount their intercoolers and ofc all the images are broken.

PS: you can still access some images by right clicking the subscription spam image and going to the direct link. Funny enough most pictures are replaced with that image even on photobucket's own website.

Some good replacement hosting sites are Imgur.com and Village.Photos
both have no upload limit and allow hotlinking.

[LowR3V'in]

yup, they got me.

Photobucket is the Hawk HPS brake pads of image hosting.

Yep, me too. Been using it for years, since 2005. Every thread I've ever posted here is now garbage. Sweet.



Fucking idiots. They'll be out of business in <1 year. Nobody is going to pay $400/yr when there are literally dozens of free options.

Yea. I could see them getting away with it at like 20-30 a year but not 400 f'that

Yep every picture I've pretty much ever posted is dead. Ughh.
