Yeah, I figured things would go downhill as soon as they introduced a paid tier so I started removing stuff from their site at that point. They've become worse than even I thought, though.

I hate it. I've had pictures there since like 2002 or 2003.

It's a pain to access them.

Yeah, I pretty much deleted most of my Photobucket accounts and pics, since it's useless now. What's the point of uploading to an image host that no longer lets free accounts hotlink images?

And you know, even if you pay for it, it's still limited. I think I remember someone paying for extra space and everything just disappeared anyway.

This reminded me to finish pulling out. I originally pulled out a lot of my photos with the bullshit subscription (on top of the site being garbage already). I left a few that may have been active links on forums, but my 3-month subscription already expired. Figured shit doesn't need to exist period anymore. Lol they offered me $1 off/month.

So, I just signed into my Photobucket and was instantly met with this screen.



They're tripping.

Also, they're saying "lock in the savings" but paying monthly costs the exact same over a year as the yearly subscription.

Not sure myself. I just have little/no reason to have images hosted anymore.

In terms of posting here, we can snip, pull from local, and stuff so it's also a bit useless. Imgur was working, then this site changed the implementation and that kinda screwed things up.

I'm like 99% that they have already planned closing the site and this is a last minute grift to rob fools of their money before closure.

"Grift"? The attitude in that message is rude as hell and basically saying, "Fuck you. Fuck off." How is that going to scam anyone? I wouldn't do business with any company that's that outwardly asshole-ish.

Can you at least pay for a month subscription to access your old photos and download them?
That's your only option, because even if you manage to get past that screen, if you're over their 250 limit (which most people are from back when it was free), then most of the pictures will be blurred with them telling you to pay their fee.

So yeah, they're basically holding people's pictures hostage.
