If the pics I currently have there go dead, I'll definitely be deleting my account.

A lot of my early AARs were done with PB...I imagine those threads now have the same ransom pics in them.  >:(
I don't know. Staggerwings is still there. He used the DIRECT link whereas I always used the IMG links.

I'm using it now to host images for my AARs.

I think I'm going to start using imgur. Fortunately I don't have a ton of pics in Photobucket and I do have copies of everything I've added there.

You have to get the pic in "theater" view, then right-click on the image to "copy image address"


The danger of using FB URLs is that FB regularly and programatically updates their URL links, which internally updates just fine, but breaks the external links on a regular basis.  I don't think they're trying to screw with external sites, but they really don't give a crap if htey do or not.

Con

I am on the anti photobucket bandwagon as well.

Plenty of anger and venom at the photobucket crowd about their stealth ransom approach to business.

My reply to their ransom note was below for all that they care

I am happy to have you delete my account.  Your service is not appreciated nor tolerated for the following reasons

1. Advertising excessive
2. speed slow
3. Poor service and functionality on website

I am glad your approach has made me actively look at other options for photo hosting than photobucket and to pursue them. 

Continue doing small things well

I like it.  Do you think they are scratching their heads trying figure out the small things they do well?

Con

I actually stole it as a quote from someone who flamed out at a small company I was working at.  It sums up the petty and feeble minded approach business have and the fear of being bold.
