Important - broken pictures

[disemporium]

So, I woke up to an email from Photobucket stating that after a change to their terms and conditions, they no longer allow you to use their free account for third party hosting (which, really?  What did they think people on the internet used image hosting sites for?), and wanting me to upgrade to a paid account.  This paid account costs $399.99 a year, or roughly £310.  Yeah.  No.

Not only do I not have a spare £310, I wouldn't spend it on a hobby I've all but given up anyway.  I probably have backups of some of my newer banners and download previews, but I also have some horrible shit happening in my life at the moment, and therefore have neither the time nor the inclination to find them, get a new image hosting account, upload them and redo all of the links, so I'm afraid that for the foreseeable future, all pictures will remain broken.

I think that most of my uploads have previews included in the downloads, so there's that.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but like I say, thanks to Photobucket and their exorbitant pricing for the foreseeable future, the pictures will remain broken.

I am so sorry for your misfortune from pb..I came on here and I said omgosh..

You aught to send them a link of your DWJ..and tell them how you really feel..I know I am when I get everything off of my tinypic..they are associated with pb..so want everything off of there just in case they pull the same stunt..then sending them a message and then deleting both my accounts..

My site I have banned Photobucket and Tinypic..

I am using Imgur..I contacted them to see if they do 3rd party hosting and they do..and I have a website through Forumotion so I can use Servimg.com..

I really hope you can in the future straighten this out..I really love your work..
