Gents,
This may have been posted already, don't see it, but Photobucket has recently updated their policy regarding 3rd party sharing of your pics. They now want a $400/yr fee for you and me to use their services. Now, I don't mind paying for the service, I currently pay $59/yr for Fotki, but $400/yr is a bit over the top, IMHO.
I have just deleted my PB account and will use Fotki whenever and where ever possible. But what really ticks me off it's the cost they are requesting for 3rd party usage.
I had a ton of pics that were run thru PB that are now blank, before I deleted the account mind you, and would have to pay what basically amounts to black mail or a hostage fee to keep my threads active. I now have to start new threads and post a short series of pics to get everyone back up to speed. That is pathetic and only shows that someone in upper management is looking to make a big chunk of change.
I vote with my dollars and have done so. Please check this out for yourself if you use PB, may save you a headache in the future.
Onward and forward, and Ruck Over Baby!
Cheers, Ski.
