Photobucket Update

[Weather Man]

PB evidently fired the company president responsible for the $400 join or else debacle. They have re enabled photos for an unknown amount of time. They are supposedly coming up with a much more realistic pricing scheme and eliminating the ads that made trying to do anything on their site impossible.

If you want pics from a tech site that went down, I wouldn't waste much time. Be interesting to see how many people come back to PB.

Well I give them credit for doing the right thing.........eventually but I think the void they left was filled almost immediately.

If they had monthly pricing with unlimited uploads and unlimited file size, I'd consider it if it were cheap and if paying got rid of all ads on their site. That being said, what they did was shitty and I will never use them again. They broke a good part of the internet that day.

I think they expect to only get back 30% of their large file holders back, if that much.

their best strategy would be a rename and hope enough people don't realize it's the same company.

A lot of their former users won't go back. The screwing they got won't be easily forgotten. That, and it's likely that a good majority of those former users have found good alternatives. It's not like PB was/is the only game in time. Personally, I've never used PB, and I'd never use PB in the future.

I left PB years ago when they remodeled the entire website and my uploaded photos started going in the middle of my 18 page library. Been happy with smugmug, much cleaner layout and it doesn't compress my photo quality.

Yeah,....I'm all set. I've got Flikr and it's free. See ya PB.

Hope they die in a fire while going feet first through a chipper shredder.

Are they trying to save themselves from bankruptcy

If they charge a fee just get your own website then you don't need to worry, it's pretty cheap anyway.
