Mine are still working. I just checked the account. In settings it shows 18% of 30.1 GB used. Couple bucks a month. Is that not an option any more?

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

Yes, If you were a paid member before all the hoopla that went down, you're good till the end of 2018. At least that's my understanding

I think I paid 10 bucks a year to photobucket for the pleasure of fewer adds. Don't know if that made any difference, I can't see where it should've, with such a small sum.
Al, I never tried to retrieve my photos, as I still have them on the hard drive here at home. I guess if photobucket wants a copy of my pics, they can have them. As long as I have my copy, I don't care what they do with theirs. I always considered if I store content anywhere but on my computer, then it's no longer just mine. The copies of my photos here on PondB, belong to PondB. If I didn't want or expect that, I never would've posted them here in the first place.
But, I do realize I have an unusual perspective on a lot of things. If my photos disappear from PB forum today, no big deal as I still have them. I guess I don't consider any photos I've posted over the years as being that important, as I'm not concerned with leaving a legacy to my accomplishments and/or failures. I was just sharing in the moment.

At least that's my understanding So all this commotion is because so many never kicked in a few bucks to help defray operating costs? Now I'm curious....everyone who's photos still exist, did you chip in to photobucket? How about those who lost their pics, did you pay?

Now I'm curious....everyone who's photos still exist, did you chip in to photobucket? I'm not sure "chipping in" is the right term, but I was a paid PhotoBucket Pro subscriber. I see my photos are still there when I sign in, the difference now is I can't post those pics to a 3rd party website (like PondBoss) anymore, with the exception my avatar? maybe such a small file? i dunno. this was PB pricing back in 2009: http://blog.photobucket.com/upgrade-to-our-new-pro-account/my guess would be 90% of people that stored images at PhotoBucket were non-paying?

So there must be another reason why some still have pics, and some dont. Hmmm.

I have never paid photo bucket anything guess I never really got asked by them or even had anything pop up that said hey pay us? I thought it was free to a certain storage percent then after that I would have to pay.... I have all my pic not worried about that part but I hope everyone that saw my stuff on PB enjoyed it!!!  I will switch over to my new way now and I may redo the post of my new dock. RC
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

I just deleted my photoB account and gave this reason for deletion...
"The recent changes in service regarding 3rd party hosting has ruined many, many threads on my favorite forum."
Goodbye PhotoB! They can have my storage space back.

I probably should have deleted my account, but instead left my maxed account open, just deleted the app from my phone. I wonder how long they will keep inactive accounts that are maxed out in size?

Now I'm curious....everyone who's photos still exist, did you chip in to photobucket? How about those who lost their pics, did you pay? I wasn't "chipping in" either. I used up all my free storage when I took a motorcycle trip from St Louis to Alaska and back. They told me, if I wanted to upload any more pics, I had to pay. Like I said it was $2/month, so I was ok with paying. This new deal of hundreds of dollars. Not happening with me.

Sounds like size of utilized storage might be a factor?

Guys (sorry if someone has already suggested this) here is another possible alternative to PhotoBucket. https://vgy.me/This site lets you create URL's for images with or without registering. If you register it will store your images. And the word everybody seems to love it's FREE... it's FREE if you register or FREE if you don't register. Of course someday it could suddenly do what PhotoBucket did or cease to exist....but for now it works and is pretty user friendly as far as I can tell.

I have two accounts and only one has been KO'ed as far as 3rd party hosting goes, my smaller rarely used account with just 5% storage used is still up and running for some reason. When my avatar disappears I will know that it no longer works for third party hosting, it's probably just a matter of time. It would make sense the Photobucket is disabling accounts in the order of how much bandwidth each account uses.

I went over to Advrider.com it's a huge adventure motorcycling website. I did a quick search and found 18 "I hate Photobucket" threads. It looks like a lot of guys over there are switching to smugmug. https://www.smugmug.comI haven't checked it out yet, but from what I read, it's reasonably priced, and works better than photobucket ever did. ($3.99 a month with a yearly pmt, or $5.99 a month.) Seems to have a lot of additional services. If you post a lot of pictures (I do) it might be worth it. I would imagine they are getting a lot of new customers right now. Just another option. Sorry if I'm repeating a earlier suggestion.

I can relate. Between Webshots and Photobucket I have lost ~ 15 years of shared/linked photos on the inter web.
