I did have one thought about photobucket today. A lot of people are talking about moving their images elsewhere and deleting their PB account? Well, why (delete the account)? If you copy the images to another service and start using the alternative, that's great. But why free up space on PB server by deleting your account? The bastard's have given all of us the finger and said pay up, so just say nope and give them the finger back by leaving your images there to hog storage space...... Meanwhile, they are no longer collecting any per click revenue on the adds as no one is clicking on those images just sitting there taking up space.
I suspect the calls to the images from the old forum posts will also be enough activity to keep the accounts open, just non-revenue generating on multiple levels.
So take that PB!!!!!
