A lesson for you all, photobucket is EVVVVILLLLL!!!!!!!!!

[Pharcyde]

Okay so photobucket is a evil monster set out to kill us all. Why do I think this? Because if you are not a pro user, your photobucket album can be blanked at any time.

Look at my guide! My lovely guide! RUINED!!!

http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?14916-Enchantress-Class-Head-Quarters

All photos were deleted and photobucket e-mailed me saying "sorry, your album has been blanked due to innactivity - upgrade to pro today and recover all of your photos!"

WTF!?!?!? I use photobucket every day! Also that same album!! Its photobuckets way of convincing people to go pro or clear their site up of loyal but non paying users -.-.

Well... thats it.... Rant out.

[Kossi]

Omg lol that suck bro

[Junside]

Wow. Just wow. I'm going to have to move my stuff to a different site. :/ I have stuff in my album from like 2006. And strangely enough, I didn't use that photobucket account for about 4 years until recently.

[Major]

Ouch that sucks...how much they want for the pro version?

[Pharcyde]

Many companies are known for doing crap like this, ripping off users in attempts to get money or just clean up space that they see as "waste" which could be very important stuff to other people. I'm so mad right now.


Ouch that sucks...how much they want for the pro version?

Idk how much pro is, but pro is a monthly payment...

[Major]

Monthly payment....omg now that's just stupid!

[Pharcyde]

I know :( .

[Survivorfan]

That sucks, do you still have the pics?

[RedRyder]

Wow..... I'm transferring all my stuff tonight then..

[Royce]

Photoshop.com ftw!

[Xavrod]

Lol they r not going to do so much money if they blank people

[Pharcyde]

Yes and No, I'm missing all ipod pics but I still have all my sig files and stuff.


Photoshop.com ftw!

:( How!? WHY!? PLEASE!?! :(

Use tinypic. It's free and I have yet to see anything be deleted from it.

[KingFu]

Ugg, I had soooo many old pictures, ima go hope they're still there and save em if they are

[Physiologic]

Use tinypic. It's free and I have yet to see anything be deleted from it.

Isn't tinypic some subsidiary project of photobucket?

Anyway, I've had photobucket since 2003 when it first appeared on the web but my free account still works perfectly fine.

[KingFu]

Mine works fine too, i'm gonna save some when I get to a comp (I got to 500/686 and clicked reload -.-)

[Lesrider]

Gah! So that's why the sig you made me went poof!
I better watch out... I use it all the time too.
Damn...

[FluffNStuff]

I thought you only ran into problems as non paying if you exceeded to much bandwidth. Would make sense for you Phys since your guides are so popular and every time someone opens your post it 'loads'.

[Arterra]

thats why you keep backup on hard drive. i dont upload then delete.

My account's been inactive from 2003 until December 2010 :D I wondered if I still had my photobucket when I started posting pictures up for guides and sure enough, it did.

[Rebel]

I've been using Photobucket for ages. I guess I'll need to back up all of my pics. Thanks for the notice.

[Pharcyde]

Damn...

as well as every other photo I have on this forum :/. Oh and its trashed my free signature page too somehow. No matter how many times I re-upload them, they are still coming out broken, wtf photobucket has ruined my night.

You know, that might actually make sense. A small game like Pocket legends that is using thousands of url links, could annoy them. Anyways this happened at the total worst time, I am not gonna be updating my guide or fixing my pictures. The only reason I am on the forums right now is I am trying to upload peoples signatures I made them and photobucket is acting like a ex-wife. Meh screw it, I'm not messing with it any more tonight.

[Otukura]

Use tinypic. It's free and I have yet to see anything be deleted from it.

It's good for fast and temporary photos.. I say temporary b/c they reuse URLs, sometimes in just a few days, other times years.

[Ricey]

User of free Photobucket account for 7~8 years and never once had anything deleted.. touch wood.

Backing up is next to godliness, though.

[Ellyidol]

Oh wow..

I hope this doesn't happen to me either!

How much is it to upgrade to pro?
