    photobucket imploding

    So what's everyone going to do who use photobucket? Are you willing to pay US$400/year for pic hosting service that used to be free?

    I am trying Imgur at the moment but had a bit of a problem with it (now sorted) when I first used it so was a bit dirty, but not as dirty as I am over the greed PB is showing. Looks like free pic hosting will go the way of the Dodo eventually.

    Given the lack of social media connections w/ photobucket probably nobody was using it enough for the ad revenue to pay for itself.

    Imgur is working at the moment, and to be honest seems better than photobucket anyway (not full of ads and constantly trying to redirect me away from the parent site) and is free (at the moment) so sticking with it.

    The annoying thing is Photobucket is still working on several other sites, and yet doesn't work here. I am not going to go through all my posts and replace the pics using Imgur.
