Photobucket rip-off

Post by Wallyandre (Andre) »

For those that use Photobucket to host pics and post on forum, they just announce that if you want to continue doing this you have to pay $400/year

Wow, that sucks! What other sites offer free image hosting AND image linking (this seems to be the part that Photobucket is charging for).

Photobucket is going to loose customer and advertisers.
I've been using post image for quite some time now. I find it faster and easier. No account with them required.

I haven't received any notices from Photo Bucket about charging me for and account I have had for 10 years. Maybe its for new customers?

No it's not. I know many many guys that receive the same thing and lost their pics on forum posts.

Joe that's a nice looking ride...

I had a 21 ft sport fisherman that looks similar. Loved it on big water!!! The way the boat sits is not due to wet floatation, it is the way they sit from the factory..... I had a 4.3ltr in mine.
