Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Someone explain to me again...

I just told Photobucket that what they are doing is akin to ransom, and there was no way in he.. that I was paying what they asked.

Sorry guys, but the links to the photos in all of my posts will stay broken, there is ho way to go back and fix them - not enough hours in a day. Sorry. Right now even if I had 30 hours in a day there is no way that I can get caught up in what I have to do.

From a friend:

Photobucket has been bought out. The new proprietor just changed their Terms of Service and now no longer allows 3rd Party Hosting from their lower tier accounts. You have to have a $400 a year commercial account minimum now, otherwise they will block the 3rd party pictures (embedded photobucket pictures posted on web sites)

This means that millions of pictures on hundreds of thousands of forums will now show the image at the bottom of this post wherever a photobucket picture from a lower tier account was posted.

Photobucket has no idea of the excrement storm that is headed their way. I predict that they will soon become the new poster child for wildly popular services that went the way of the dodo bird when they finally figured out that they had no viable business plan.
