What the Photobucket!!!!???

[fishEH]

So just like that Photobucket has ceased 3rd party hosting for non paying customers. And this isn't a "from this point forward" move. Any pic I've ever posted here or any other forum appears to be gone! And its not like $5 a month to get 3rd party hosting back, oh no its $39.99/month.

Those motherfuckers!

Well, shit.

Photofucket has effectively killed themselves.

Yep, they have fucked up a shit ton of good threads.

I went there for the first time in ages and the pop-ups are intolerable. Fuck 'em.

I'm downloading all my old albums and will host most of them on fb and keep multiple copies on thumb drives. Hell, I may even print out several and actually frame them.

Is there a good photo hosting site that isn't overpriced?

Edit: Nevermind. I just started uploading everything to google. Shit, they've probably seen them all, anyway.

You think hosting is free? Cucked libtard bums always looking for a handout. Get a job.

I saw the email last night. Would have been nice if they did a slow transition. Plus I thought the ads paid them. Plus they charge for other photo options like albums art work etc . Between the ads and services I thought they were fine. Apparently not.

39 a month is insane. Like it was said a shit ton of informative threads are now ruined. With a little notice the transition could 've been way more pleasant. Creating customers that may have actually paid for the service. Now they've just fucked everyone. I'm not in a hurry to hand them money with that attitude. Fuck them. If I have to pay I'd rather pay someone else.

Yep. What a shit show.

But 75 percent of Photobucket?s costs originated from ?non-paying users leveraging 3rd party hosting,? Corpus added. And it resulted in zero revenue.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

Pay up snowflakes

 

[Shiftonthefly1]

I've got no problem paying. It's the way it was handled is the problem. No notice or deadlines. Just an off switch. Poof. Gone. It's a shit move.

 

[ERover82]

Bet you flag burning freeloaders are all pretty attached to your precious Obama phones too.

Screw them. First, I'm not paying ANYBODY $40 a month so I can post pics on forums. Second, if I were to pay someone it sure as hell won't be Photobucket now!

I get they need to make money, but I don't need all that storage.
Over the last decade I've used 3.1GB of storage on Photobucket. They need a $10 a year plan for people like myself with minimal usage.

Exactly .

I just checked my storage. 2.1gb But i could easily shrink that down and erase some of the photos

Always host pics on the forum you're posting them on. Problem solved.

 

[bgbrox]

This might be (almost certainly is) a dumb question but...

Why can't discoweb host pictures? Is it crazy expensive?

As a new user, I'm disappointed that there are a TON of great info threads that no long have pictures (even in the archives). I'd rather pay on here (or see more ads) and have the photos stay with the site.

That's not always possible. And oftentimes the photos must be ridiculously small. Hardly useful in a tech post.

Where do you host your pics? Only on the forums that you post on?

 

[chris snell]

Photobucket has always been shit. Imgur was really awesome but has recently made it harder to share photos posted there on other sites.

I've looked into an imgur-like uploader/host for DWeb and NAS-ROW but I've been busy and haven't had time to work on it. Maybe this winter.

Alternatively, sign up for an Amazon Web Services account and use their S3 service. You can upload in their web UI or through programs like Cyberduck. Signing up is free and you pay only for what you store and serve up and it's dirt cheap. Pennies a month.

Also, Google Photos and Amazon's photos offerings might be another option.

Dweb hosted photo, done.

Maybe Chris can just make the previews larger.

 

[stu454]

It's not the small preview that's an issue; the "larger version' is still laughably small. How am I supposed to fuck up my cabin like that guy with such a small guide?
