Apparently they have done away with free accounts.

In other news, Photobucket still exists

Same.
Though the XBOX 360 is good in theory, it's hardware limitations say otherwise - Hideo Kojima

Apparently Imageshack is still around as well. I wonder how these places stay in business when you never hear about anyone using them. Fuck, even Flickr gets more attention than them.
I make a topic in Final Fantasy 12 to ask if Tifa! They said no Tifa. Hardness gone! -gandob

I haven't logged into it since before they started charging. Plus I didn't have anything on there worth paying to get to anyway.
Insert some witty line here

Somewhat ironically, they're more solvent as paid image hosts "nobody" uses, than they were as free image hosts everybody used.

The only real alternative is becoming an oEmbed-based ad-riddled "engagement" hellhole like imgur.

Yeah, I've constantly been getting those emails. I just downloaded them all, and let the account expire
Yeah, I did this years ago. Also closed the alt accounts I had as well.

I was getting emails every couple of weeks warning about my account being disabled. Now it says I need to reactivate to keep my "155 photos", when in reality I probably had like 15 or 20 photos at most. Scummy.
