The contempt I have for Photobucket is immeasurable for the way they have acted.

Couldn't possibly agree with you more :sad1:

As above, multiple forums appear to be affected. Those most affected I suspect are using a lot of the bandwidth and are probably being targetted first. Those who aren't using the site much will probably get warnings much later on. Doing something like this is essentially suicide and I expect most people to jump ship and Photobucket will essentially die (or perhaps become absorbed into another service).

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

They want everyone to pay for the service now!!!

I've deleted all my pictures off photo crapit and now using IMGBB and it's much easier and seriously quicker to upload/delete pictures

Am I in the minority using Tapatalk? It's ridiculously easy to upload photos from my phone. I haven't used my PB account in years.

I had taken all auto pics from my computer and just used PB to post onto forums....what PB did made it so I'd never ever use photobucket. I'm just glad I could retrieve them and load them elsewhere...but too much work going through all topics/threads started to re-post pics. I will if requested of course. And, for you all, @ $300GBP/yr!, no way...not even for $48USD/yr would I.
