what

?

you gotta be fuking kidding me. i just spent the entire g0dam winter reorganizing all and reposting most.

this can't be so. Is this all images from here on in or just all of them you ever posted even if it was 9 years ago?

Everyone still gets 2 GB for free and that is a lot more than most people need. I have made a habit of only uploading thumbnail size files lately. I do not know if loading large files to Photobucket uses up more storage. It does not seem to improve the quality of the image if I upload a large file and then post it here. Looks exactly the same as a thumbnail.

I think all files uploaded automatically become small files. They might not be optimum quality for art but they work great for viewing most other things on the internet.

Thank you, bg. Lately, I have been using a special labeling process for pics I load to the forum. It makes them a lot easier to find in the huge briefcase. For now, looks like the pics I recently brought over from Photobucket are showing here....I cannot access my library when I go to photobucket however. ..but this would not be the first time Photobucket was out of service. It has come back in the past so it probably will again. You're a good guy. bg!

...but rather than $399/month, I would just bring all my stuff over here to the briefcase....but I'm afraid I'd be taking my time if I had to do it all over! Thanks for your generosity though. Dam, you already are spending some money to keep the site going which I appreciate very much.

Yeah, that's how they do it, they fire a shot across the bow first and then BOOM---you pay or you're history. I'm not budging. You google just about any image of a ZX-14 part and you will see my photos. If that doesn't bring people to their site to be inundated with gobs of ads literally every few seconds and they don't make enough money off of that, they can keep the sh!t!

Testing 123...

They got us all by now. What a mess for every forum on the internet.

---

Definitely not worth the money for me for as little as I use it. Anyone know a good alternative to recommend?

---

I'm never trusting any image hosting site again. I'll just use the forum pics and that way the pics will always be were they should be as long as there is a forum.

---

I've never trusted any of these "free" image hosting sites. Photobucket has shown they are greedy SoB's and I hope NOBODY pays their ransom and rewards this extraordinarily bad behavior.

In my view the BEST deal out there for website image hosting is Amazon Web Service's S3. It's not free but it's darned cheap and you have total control of it. I have a few thousand images stored there, many externally linked and my monthly bill is about $0.10. You pay only for what you use, storage + bandwidth but their rates are really low.

You'd have to have a HUGE amount of images hosted on some very VERY busy sites to rack up $399/year.

I wonder if youtube will ever do this. That's Google. You pay for an internet connection but there's no reason you couldn't be charged for search engines or related services.

---

I have been happy with www.imageevent.com..I pay 69 bucks a year and have never had a problem..

Its my understanding the $399. YEAR is for the 3rd party hosting,, im using the PLUS 20 package for about $ 3.50c amonth

I refuse to pay anything a month. I have the feeling most other people are not paying either. Hope they came out ahead by selling their slow service. I mean, I could deal with the continuous interruptions by advertising but I'm not paying for it.
