Or even Facebuck, which seems to make very good pics, look very good, though they are no help with not so good pics.

Just went to tinypic and got one of those "fake surveys" pop up, oh well I suppose they have to pay the bill somehow.

I suspect that a lot of these sites will be seeing an increase in traffic, both in and out, so I wonder how long before one of the others, flickr, imgur, etc suddenly start to charge?

Or if you want "free" you have to agree to an advert being added to your picture.

Make the most of it, I suspect this is the beginning of the end of the "free internet".

Well, either that or there shall be more smaller startups that will be happy to make do with the advertising revenue they can generate providing a free service to fill the niche that Photobucket has created with their greed.
If I were an investor with deep pockets, that's where I would go right now.
Maybe call it Photowagon.

I have never seen a tiny pic popup with a survey. Occassionally they make you watch or read an add then give you a password to enter. Enter the password and you get a link. The pictures never have an add once posted.
For example here is a picture of the Whittier Fire from last night. I just uploaded and was not even asked to watch the add.

To each their own, in any case Carlos, that is a magnificent picture, thank you for sharing it here.

I expect You Tube to join the greedy bus soon, too. :~(

Greedy?
I think many content providers have been overestimating the income from advertising .
Bottom line is that "free" information is only available at a cost.
For instance reading news media like Dagens Nyheter, New York Times and Washington Post are now restricted to a few articles a month if you don't subscribe.

Let's say that Youtube join the greedy bus.
Well, first of all they will loose many users that perhaps should have read even the ads.
Which will then mean that Youtube will cease to exist in the long run.

For anyone with sig file Photobucket issues, I have a private repository of
pix and graphics online, and I'll be happy to "host" your sig file photo/illustration
for you. And if it's real big (too big), I can resize it for you. Just let me know.

The nastygrams have finally made it to Oz. I was a very low level user. Account deleted.

I just got this message in my email:

They may be running out of people to look at their adds.
I hope so and I hope they go down the tubes.

They can stuff that offer...

Can someone say?

I got the Photobucket Nastygram, yesterday. So, I believe that ALL of my prior postings with Photobucket Links have now been blocked by them going all the way back to 2006 postings here.

Thankfully, as I've mentioned in an earlier post, I've already downloaded all my PB Content back to my MAC. Unfortunately, some of my stuff was eliminated by PB without consent, nor notification at some point in the past few years. Those items were short videos from Babylon 5 from the TNT Website that was available back then for fans to make use of and DL. These items go back to 1998 from my first MAC Clone, and were copied to my PCs in 2006 and then Uploaded from my PCs to my then newly created PB Account in 2006. These older machines are ALL in storage, now; MANY miles away from me, and NOT easily gotten to. Should the drives on them die, or are dead now, these items will forever be lost to me... :-( I don't think TNT has them up anymore, as B-5 has been off the air for SOOOOO LOOOONG...

Question to ALL:

What replacement Site is recommended, now??? I noticed that the Admiral has gotten his Signature Raccoon Pic back up; but, don't know what Service he's using, now. Replacement Service Site needs to be FREE to use, as I have NO available funds at this time. ALL monies taken in at this point are ALL spoken for within $20 a month free spendable cash for a movie now and then... Everything else goes to Medical Insurances, Dental, and VSP Insurances, monthly bills, Vonage Annual Expenses, and estimated car maintenance as the car is now 8 years old... (Seems like every maintenance item on my 2009 Civic Hybrid costs $150 to $180!!!!! (Except oil changes which are about $50.))

God, how PB has turned so SUUUUUCKKKKYYYYY!!!!!! :-O
