A bit of testing going on here.... every single one of my 19,600 forum related photos are set to disappear by March 2018 thanks to Photobucket's $399 per year ransom fee. They can go and F*** off. I won't be paying it and 95% of my personal audio related photos here will disappear. Very upsetting for me and a MAJOR blow for the forum archives but I will not give in to extortionists, they can f**k off.
Story here
I'll do my best to save (am doing my best) what I can but it's a MAJOR task. Photobucket no longer supports album downloads (I PAY for the service) so you have to download images one at a time. As you can appreciate, 19,600 x "save as" is bad enough but then re-assigning 19,600 images to where they were is a nightmare / impossible for one man. Even more annoying, photobucket has added an "-original" extension onto a jpg (to make it even harder) so each individual file has to be renamed from, for example "X-CANV2.jpg-original" to "X-CANV2.jpg" for the image to show.
They have REALLY made $399 sound cheap when you consider it's almost impossible for me to preserve all the photos on this site and it would take me MONTHS (even years) to do so and that's what they are hoping for....... yes Photobucket, I'll pay you $399 per year.
Nope..... go for it Photobucket.... you aren't getting a penny more from me...... you are crooks, an extremely dubious bunch of characters, and I want nothing more to do with you. 10 years worth of photos (PAID for hosting) (over 19,000 will soon disappear from my forum so you have effectively ruined a lot of hard work and a lot of very useful information will soon disappear from the forum thanks to your greed. I'm trying to salvage what I can but there is no possible way it will ever be what it was, you've made sure of that
No way can I afford $399 per year and, even if I could, it certainly wouldn't be going toward supporting crooks like you. You are total bandits, racketeers and extortionists who are going to totally wipe out a lot of people's hard work and effort..... I have no doubt that people like you sleep sound.
