The amount of time spent over the years drooling over those top shelf photos a lot of you post on here... :drool:   :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:
Especially the mass collections and variations.
I'm still wondering if people are actually paying that high ass price as they are afraid of smurfing up their sites.

Got another "offer" from these twerps again.  My response:

Quote
Seriously, if I didn't accept your idiotic offer of $99, what makes you think I'm going to jump at $400.

Maybe if you guys pulled your heads out of your asses you'd realize that it would be easier to just set fire to your own servers rather than let them die a slow, painful, moronic death.

But by all means, please keep sending me these offers.  I'm having a great time posting my responses on my forum. Which you damaged greatly by ripping all of the member photos out of.

From Wikipedia:

On June 28, 2017, Photobucket changed its Terms of Use regarding free accounts and third party hosting (hosting on forums, eBay, etc). Only the most expensive plan, at US$399.99 per year, now permits third party hosting and linking to forums.[10]

This new business model has caused thousands of forum DIY's and write-ups with explanatory pictures to be rendered useless. About 500 words into the linked document was a declaration that free accounts would no longer permit image-linking to third-party sites. eBay and Etsy have also been affected, in addition to many forums and blogs.[11] Thousands of images promoting goods sold on Amazon and other shopping sites have been removed after the photo-sharing service changed its terms, causing a great deal of controversy. One user was quoted as saying: "The CEO of Photobucket will have trouble getting a job digging a garden after this."[citation needed]

On September 13, 2017, Denver Better Business Bureau gave the company an "F" rating, the worst they issue, citing fifteen complaints related to the change in terms and no response from the company.[12]

Didn't their $99.9 plan offer third party hosting to begin with?

So everyone who subscribed to that had their pics pulled again and got a third party hosting offer at $399.9?

Sounds like some Nigerian prince is running PB...

The power to the servers was cut?
They couldn't pay their bills because nobody wanted to pay a small fee?

Not surprising really... they burned it to the ground, then took eternity to admit it was a mistake, and make everyone think it's back to how it was, and now this  :facepalm:

Looks like they've come to their senses though... The new plans are not too unreasonable: 4$, 6$ and 10$ a month  :pok:

That's not bad, but given the track history of changing their mind, you are probably better off paying for your own hosting at those prices.

Agreed. I'll never upload another pic there, even if they went back to being completely free.
