The Photobucket Blackmail scam
Just surfing a few sites today, seems hundreds of thousands of people are affected by the scummy Photobucket move
Akira's motorcycle threads are screwed, they want around $400 to host photos/ year
Maybe start a Facebook hate page?

Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
I just checked mine and it's still there with access to my photos, it's still frustratingly fucking buggy.
Maybe I don't have enough photos to hold me for ransom, or they haven't got to me yet.

Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
i dont think so as i use them for all my travel stories, and sofar they are all still up and view-able
I think its all about how much space of theirs ur using, I am only using .5 gigs of my free 2 gigs,
ONLY use PB for photos i am going to place somewhere online,would never keep all my photos there and for sure would never pay to store them on anyone else's site
or in the cloud for that matter
