I wasn't sure where to post this, so please move as needed.
As of a few days ago Photobucket has begun blocking 3rd party image hosting. This means that every image linked from photobucket in the last 14+ years will be a dead link. Every DIY, build thread, for sale post, etc.
Photobucket for me has been under my skin for several years now. Poorly designed apps, constantly crashing website etc, but with 4,700 photos of mine hosted there I have felt stuck and just kept with it.
Now what? Pay the astronomical $400/yr for a service that has always been free. Photobucket's use has always been 3rd party hosting. I can get a new image host, sure, but fixing every link? What about the users who don't fix their images. Quality posts will be rendered useless.
