Got the same email again yesterday, this time though....I just deleted it!

I'm wondering if Photobucket, do you think that they're sweating right now?

Still saying ... the photobucket site stinks and causes nothing but troubles.

Not Jan only. I have noticed John and a couple of other guys here who store their pics there too.

Wurger, I think that it is an advert or something like that!!!
Cause I don't use that site, but have seen that ad several hundred times!

Yep it can be considered the advert. However it means a pic isn't publicly available. But in my opinion, it's a rabble only.

God bless Paul (Pavel, in Russian, of course) Durov!!!
It's free and has unlimited space!!!

If any one here has Telegram, It's good to save your photos there!!!
No money! and your photos will be there till you delete them.
Just it doesn't have "Editor".

Photobucket restores photos "taken hostage," hopes to lure back customers with cheaper plans after last year's $399 debacle

Photo-f!ck it.

Photo shove it

Can't see the reason, or need, for an 'outside' photo storage site, when the computer already has one, totally controlled by the owner / user, and totally free with access at any time.

 

[Wurger]

I agree.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed Terry. Doing some very rough math, a 2 terabyte external hard-drive will hold about 4 million photos. That's an awful lot of selfies for 8.99$ a month

Many use this kind of hosting as a backup and a means to share pictures with others around the world.
A backup on the same location is not really a backup.

Flickr isn't too bad, but you only get so much storage for free - ImageShack used to be a great sharing site, but they went the way of premium service only long before PhotoBucket did.

And these sites are (or were) great for sharing images on sites where direct uploading was not an option. But a person should never rely on these sites as a means to store photos, even if they are on vacation.

Personal media (hard drives, memory cards, etc.) are very affordable and much more reliable than some server off in cyberspace...
