It now costs $400 a year to use their service. If you used them before, your library is likely gone.

I've got 309 photos in photo bucket as of 30 seconds ago. Just uploaded some more in there this morning, and posted two pics on here. My library is not gone.

But, the sky may be falling.

I switched to imgur.com, someone else here said it was
good. I like it thus far. In the last few months, I had
a hard time getting anything onto photobucket because of the
ads and popups.

The hard work on recording history done by hundreds of thousands of researchers and writers and us...has gone up in smoke caused by utter "I'll hold you to ransom" greed of some unknown criminal. This is a travesty and a lost for humanity.

I'll say it again, Argo. You shouldn't expect something for nuthin'.

Anybody who spent all that time researching and depended on a "free" site to preserve it has got their head in the sand.

Why are you so mad that PB took something back that they gave you for free to begin with? I'm not defending them, by any means, just saying that it's ridiculous to be so dependent on a site that never promised you anything.

Stan, Go read some of these lines....not the "Oh I hate your politics" crap but the really substantive lines that rely on some sort of historical compilation of images. And it's not just here...it's across the internet where people collect and do research with visual images. That site promised free photo downloads up to a limit. It then took it away without warning. Wonder what business model they were following because that is the equivalent of ransomware extortion.

And if you aren't upset by this type of behavior, if you aren't upset when you go back and research past lines and have a blank in front of you, gun images posted by members now dead, then you're missing something. And your response comes across as cynical bordering on sneering.

Stan, I've kept the images I posted. I went back to change them in a couple of the lines I started. I'm proud of the research I put in - months long on EM Reilly, the definitive site on that maker now anywhere. The lines are locked. I can't replace the images. The research done for history is diminished. And posting on a forum depends on an internet site. Maybe Dave will create a way to post directly here.

I'm not sneering, though I may be a bit cynical. I just cannot get my head around expecting something for nothing. It's a shame that research is lost. But, what researcher worth his salt does not back up their data and findings somewhere else besides where they post it for the world to read? That's ludicrous.

And, where do you get "criminal". What laws have they broken? You're mad .... okay. But, take it as a lesson learned not to rely on freebies in the future. I use photo bucket, and will until they shut me down. But, they don't owe me anything, and I don't owe them anything. I do appreciate them letting me use their site for nothing for years to post my pictures, but when it's gone, it's gone. No big deal. As I said before ...... easy come, easy go.

Life's a lot bigger, for me, than PB.

I don't know what everyone is seeing, but all I get is a blue square saying update your account to enable third party hosting.
