Default No more linking from Photobucket. Where do you store your RC pics online?

So, Photobucket has decided that there will be no more 3rd party linking of stored photos unless you subscribe to their $400 a year plan. Yes, PB now expects $399.99 a year to be able to use [img] tags to link your stored pictures to a 3rd party forum/website/blog. (I contacted Photobucket and was informed that using [img] tags to link pictures to this forum is considered 3rd party hosting and requires their Plus 500 Plan.) In light of this, I am in the market for a new place to store pictures online for linking to forums. What does everyone use? Free is preferable, but low cost will work as well.

I use Flickr. I think a pay around 25$ a year. But if I remember correctly, you dont have to.
You simply get unlimited space. You can also upload movie files if you like.

If this is true Photobucket just made themselves obsolete. Unless the competition joins, they are going to lose customers fast. Get your photos off of their now before they make you pay $400 to download them...

When are they going to stop allowing it? I have a couple of threads on here that still show pictures linked from PB.

It appears to be triggered by bandwidth usage. RCC is popular and if your thread gets views then everyone who views the thread downloads the photos from their servers. After a certain programmed limit it triggers a shutdown.
Its more complicated than that obviously, just a quick explanation.

Its already happening. I just noticed a few threads with the PB notices instead of the pictures. The notice now says the user needs to upgrade the account.

So, bot-blasting their users with ads wasn't making any money for them? Huh...?

I am guessing that their new scheme will be just as successful.

well i think PB just killed themselves. you would have to be a serious user to spend that kind of money for it.

can use the 99.99 dollar one and get 3rd party hosting still just outrageous guess ill be using tapatalk from now on.

even checked mine and some are gone great now i have to try and remember what they were and repost them.

If you click on the dead link it will take you to the pic you posted ( i think it stoped working ) so dont delete them till you have the new link in place so you dont loose that pic

i just posted my first pic with imgur but its huge its gona take some time to figure imgur out
