    Photobucket broke the internet. $400/yr to post pics on forums from your acct.

    So photobucket in their infinite wisdom decided out of the blue to block all pictures that are hosted by the site, from appearing on any other site unless the use pays PB $400 a year.

    Also according to their TOS, if you use more than 2GB of space, they will immediately suspend your account, and force you to pay money in order to access your account or your pictures.

    There was no forwarning of these changes, and its retroactive... PB successfully just screwed over thousands of forum threads on every topic known to man... good job PB. I hope they get sued into bankruptcy.

    Yeah, I posted this on my FB. The email I got goes so far as to say that they don't allow 3rd party hosting, yet, every image has a box of links to share the photo, and the only way is to pay. Screw Photoshop. I'll look for a new hosting site and move all my stuff over there
