I went to Flickr. Not as convenient as PB but it works for free for now...

Photobucket should be ashamed! I have been trying to search heaps of forums etc for several old images that I have seen over the years to see how manifolds go on or look, see different size wheels on cars, suspension settings, engine specs etc etc etc. All ruined by a greedy company. Seriously probably the worst thing to happen to the internet since it started. Someone needs to step in and make all these pictures come back. Google, Amazon, Facebook maybe buy them out? Please.

End rant!

I already knew it was the end ages ago as their dog tactics with ads and blocking you out, site crashing, bugs etc... All signs they were out of money and desperate.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.

Well I doubt they will have many takers at $39 per month. I would like to know how they calculated that rate. If they don't have people accessing the site then the advertising revenue will disappear also. The only reason use it is for 3rd party access. All my pictures and videos are backed up to icloud backup for $1.99 per month and also USB drive just in case.

Leaves a massive hole it a lot of forums without the images... I would pay $50 per year to be able to see them or open a few adverts etc. But $39pcm is just outrageous and not even an option for most people! Silly move by them if you ask me... Soundcloud played similar game and looks like it might have lost!

Hey thats nice. I also found a link to a phpbb3 hack which downloads the remote content and saves it locally.... its not a clean way of doing, more patching php directly than i'd like and who knows if it even works properly but put the two of them together and it should fix itself. I better get on to that soon, before photophucket phixes shit.

I wonder how long before photophuket finds out & stops it.
Great right now. Might give us time to save our pics in posts before we again forget what we had up.
