Does anyone know how Photobucket has fared since they decided to . . . .

. . . . . . hold billions of people's images for ransom?

1. Probably not well.

It's about time that I dust off my old FLIKR account.

2. I've not been back.

3. One half of my pics were of truck parts

The other half were making fun of Dotard.

I guess I can let them have those pics and not feel like I've really lost something.

8. You can log in and download them if you want to. n/t

9. I'll just keep them there on an unused account

I feel like I'm extracting some revenge by cluttering up their server with worthless pics.

4. When did this happen? n/t

13. I am trying to remember if I have a Photobucket account

For the past few years Flickr has been my go to for online photo and video storage- You can't beat 1 TB of free storage.

5. Can't be good!

6. Last I remember I had around twenty or more pages of pics.

I could copy them and move them elsewhere but it's not
worth the trouble. I just don't care to go back there.

11. As a practical matter, you simply can't copy and move them

Free accounts are so over run with pop-ups that the site is effectively inaccessible.

You used to be able to download complete albums with a click. Now it is only one image at a time. And since you can't access the images due to pop ups, you have effectively lost access to your images.

I can't imagine some lawyer hasn't gone after them yet.

18. I have some pics there that I'd love to see again.

Sadly, I don't remember the email account I had for the sign in...no idea of password either. Sigh. So many pics of my long gone doggies...and my long ago life in the Keys.

Sheesh, hard copy photos sure had their advantages. Oh well.

7. In an interview back in July they said they doubled revenue...

15. That may be true . . . until users clear out their images and go elsewhere

[Kingofalldems]

12. Google would be helpful.

[UTUSN]

14. I'm just 1, but I'm gone!1 "There are worlds elsewhere"!1

16. I haven't used that sight for a couple years. I was just thinking about using it earlier today.

19. Someday...

my collection of bush the lesser's bufoonery residing on Photobucket will be worth a mint. A thin mint, but a mint nonetheless.
