Photo bucket has a new policy requiring "pay for service" as I am reading my contract popup on their site.

i've been using if for years with the understanding if I was to keep it under a certain amount it was free. I think i read it was right at $60 a year.

no more hot linking.

You can hot link for $400 per year. Killing a lot of useful build and how to threads across all forums.

I always wondered if they would do something like this. A small monthly charge would've been more well received.

Small fee. They wanted 399 a year from 0. NOT a good biz practice. Not only am i going to delete my account, i will do no business/associate with Photobucket anymore. A simple email stating that "hey, in 30.60.90 days, we are going to change our policy to a little more pay to play" and i woulda been in, for a fair fee.
Shoulda taken Seig's advice two/three years ago when he mentioned smugmug for like 30 a year.....oh well.

Sometimes progress regresses.

Yep, say $10 a month. I'd put my money on them coming out way ahead with this strategy vs. pissing everybody off.

LOL at all of this..... Photobucket has always sucked.... but I've always been PO'd at LATERAL G for making me use a third party cut and paster. I hate having to upload photos to Photobucket -- rather than just drag and drop straight to my posts.

When PB goes south --- all my posts will just simply no longer have photos. Lateral G is THE ONLY REASON I have Photobucket.... or I wouldn't need any photo "service".

I post on three forums and same as you Greg, it's the only reason I have a Photobucket account!
