OT - New Policy From PhotoBucket
I just got an email from photobucket stating I had to upgrade to get web hosting -- using img in forums, etc. Cost = ~$400/yr!!
Here is a link mentioning it....

Re: OT - New Policy From PhotoBucket
The only reason I have Photobucket is to link to 3rd party sites. If it starts costing me I will go to someone else. I'm sure they are just trying to make money but this is pretty much the only reason I made the account and $33+ a month isn't worth it for me and the few I upload.

From the Photobucket site. ... Guess I am finding a new hosting site. I get asking people to subscribe but 400 a year is ridiculous IMO.

I think your getting set up for a scam, be careful.

Re: OT - New Policy From PhotoBucket
What is odd is that some of my post still let the images from PhotoBucket still pass through. An example might be
http://www.savageshooters.com/showthrea ... ir-Shooter
The two images there are embedded.

You would think. Check out my link. Right from the Photobucket website.

Re: OT - New Policy From PhotoBucket
its not a scam, it was on the news network, really stupid move on PB's part, people will be dropping like flies, same thing people said about facebook when a rumor spread years ago said they were going to start charging, everyone I knew said they would just cancel the account.

Re: OT - New Policy From PhotoBucket
Why is it that photo hosting sites are even needed? Sites like Facebook and craigslist just let you use what is in your photo library....
