Well....this really, really sucks.

Photobucket has gone straight up bat *****. I have over 2500 pictures and 18 videos of my build and racing on photobucket and a few days ago they magically changed their terms of service wanting a bunch of money out of me, to host and deliver 3rd party pictures. Well....**** them. Their site has become almost unusable with popups and its a pain in the ass anymore.

Unfortunately that means i'm going to have to find another way to post pictures of updates and try to pull 2500 pictures off of a ****ty website.

I guess im saying RIP my build thread and any tech threads I have out there with pics will probably be useless. Lesson learned. The reality is I will probably let this go into the shadows and just post most of my updates on facebook. If any of you care to follow along, look me up on there

this is what really sucks - ****bucket ruining documented threads like this that go back years. and now they think they can basically hold the images hostage. i can't imagine anyone using their service again that has been affected to this degree. the sad thing is, all image hosting sites will likely be forced in this direction eventually. we might all be better off just attaching images and dealing with the thumbnails.

honestly, sites like this might have to change the way they post images and forego the thumbnail. they're saving the large image anyway, why not just post it from the get go?

****bucket really ****ed up with this decision and especially by giving virtually zero warning of what they planned to do. assholes.
