PHOTOBUCKET users please be aware !

[04OFF]

So........ Photobucket ,where for over 10 years ive been putting photos that you guys see here, have now decided to change there "terms of use".


Long story short, if i (or anyone), wishes to continue any third party hosting of pics (upload pic to photobucket, then link so they can be seen on a web site) any users still wanting this function (that we have used for years and is the WHOLE POINT of the site) we will now have to pay $399 a year.

No ,i did not miss a decimal point , just short of four hundred dollars






I just spend the day downloading what i can from the site and deleted my account.

They asked (computer generated) why i am deleting, this is a cut and paste of what i wrote....



Your new terms of service ,ensure the whole point of ever using your site, is now 100% unrealistically NON affordable.

Extortion is illegal in my country, and what goes around , comes around, it will be interesting to see if Photobucket is still around in 5 years ?

I hope the ultimate demise of Photobucket, will for a years to come, serve as a reminder to others, on how NOT to treat people if you want to stay in business.





This pretty much wrecks anY thread i (and others) have ever posted a pic on, i will do my best to salvage my pic thread (04off pics) but this will take ages.



Im sure the rest of the world will be sending photobucket a clear message real soon.
