Just used Pee Bucket in the pissed off thread....I've payed them nuthin ......ever.

Did it work?

Well, I spent most of the morning and probably half of the afternoon going back and fixing many of my old posts, replacing broken Photobucket links with new Imgur links.

Let me tell you, Photobucket has done some serious damage to the content of WaGuns, and no doubt to many other websites as well. It's really horrifying to look through the older threads and see all of the pictures missing.

Some of them are just the usual banter and in reality it's not a big deal to lose that content, but we also have many threads that provide helpful information, that people will find for years to come via Google searches. It's sad to lose that.

Yes, that is the rub, especially since this happened without warning, on what had previously been a free picture hosting service, for the purpose of posting pictures online. For that reason, I hope Photobucket crashes and burns, and their management is never able to land a real job again. Trying to hold the entire internet for ransom deserves a massive backlash.

Your lack of Imgur capability is horrifying.

Stuff not to do
If someone else might own the copyright to it, don't upload it. Don't upload gore, "hate speech" (i.e. demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual orientation, etc.), or material that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, or that encourages violence or crime. Don't upload illegal content such as child porn or nonconsensual ("revenge") porn. Don't hotlink to adult content or to file-sharing, gambling, torrent, warez, or Imgur rip-off sites. Don't impersonate someone else. Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network. If you do – and we will be the judge – or if you do anything illegal, in addition to any other legal rights we may have, we will ban you along with the site you're hotlinking from, delete all your images, report you to the authorities if necessary, and prevent you from viewing any images hosted on Imgur.com. We mean it.

Let this be a lesson to all, there is no such thing as a free internet service. If you cannot figure out what they are selling, they are selling *you.*

I don't think that was ever a question, nor is it what anyone is complaining about. Wrong lesson to learn from this IMO.

Agreed. It's always been clear to me what Photobucket was selling: Advertising. Lots of it. Lots of really irritating flashing banner ads and pop-up videos.
