Photo bucket is a paid service now just as happened to Bravenet (remember that dive?) and every other image service ever created.

3rd party service either needs to be banned or the 3 rd party needs to be government operated.

If you watched your emails I think they gave a short warning before ransoming your pics

Yeah, cause the government provides great service at affordable prices!

Or you can just pay for the services you use. Nobody should be using the cloud as their only copy of their files anyhow, so Photobucket isn't ransoming my pictures since I have higher quality originals on my server.

If you really want security and affordability, make your own image server. The tradeoff is convenience. Convenient things cost more.

I just checked a thread of mine with images hosted on Photobucket and they're still there. I used several devices to be sure it wasn't because I was logged into Photobucket. Is there a slow rollout of the no-hotlinking policy?

I've never used photobucket, and looks like I never will.

If there isn't an instant "add photo" button to a thread, then that just sucks.

Always has been a VGA JPEG attachment feature on this forum.

I would use it any day over 3rd party crap, I've been burned by 3rd party hosting too many times

I tried photobucket for a little while (some of my images are still on there), but nearly all of the images I post are uploaded to imgur, which has worked nicely for me. If anything, it has gotten better over time.
