Photobucket sucks

Matticus91 · 10-26-2017, 02:09 PM

How many threads do you think have been ruined thanks to Photobucket's change of policy? I find it completely ridiculous that they just all of a sudden decide to charge an insane amount of money to host images. I've been looking for some DIY's lately and every thread I find with the right info has the wonderful message saying third party hosting isn't allowed. You can't even click the link to view the images on Photobucket directly.

Anyway super pissed about this if anyone knows any workarounds feel free to share

I have never seen a worse screw job than what Photobucket pulled on the public. What kind of clear-thinking human could think that the new business model of holding past customers hostage and charging them insane fees would work in the real world? I refuse to do business with them any longer. It took me about 10 hours to retrieve all of my photos from there; the ones that were critical postings were replaced with photos from my new account elsewhere, but I left many photos to die on websites just so people would see the Photobucket message and raise hell. (None were do-it-yourself instructions.) Photobucket needs to be investigated by state attorneys general and put out of business.
