That's a good deveolpment but the damage has been done. I liked using Photobucket back then but there's no way that I'll ever go back to these folks.

Damage is done ,but who knows if I'll use it. Maybe in time.

It is good news in that the Internet works again. Although some forums that I used to visit that didn't have native image uploaders literally died when they pulled the carpet out from under us.

On the one hand, we have no right to post images for the Internet for free. On the other hand, they so overpriced it that I refused to pay. For $50 a year, I would gladly shell out. $500? You have to be kidding me. I was considering purchasing a lower cost membership now that they are available, but they burned up so much of my goodwill, it is hard for me to pull the trigger.

People weren't willing to pay when there are tons of free hosting image sites that generate revenue on advertisements. I know I went to imgur for the most part.

Nothing more frustrating than threads with no image to analyse . Hopefully the wheel has been put back on

I still have tons of pics on Photobucket but I literally have not even visited the site since they pulled that stunt a while back.
