Guys
You may of heard in the news that photobucket decided overnight that it was going to charge for the 1 billion photos it has stored on its server. If you do not pay £300 per year license fee all of your photos get replaced by a clock, in other words modern day ransom. This just about sums up the money grabbing society that we live in. Unfortunately all of the photos i have posted on this site are now gone replaced with the ransom clock.
Unfortunately i do not have the time or money to trawl through all the pics and sort them out.
In future i will use another site for hosting my pics.
Sorry to bear bad news guys.

Re: photobucket
Disgraceful behaviour, lets hope they get what they deserve and go to the wall, £300 a year is sheer greed
Sadly I think other 'free' services may go the same way

Imgur seems ok.
Thank you for the heads up.

Re: photobucket
My pictures are still there. But then I have safety copies of all pictures. Won't trust online store. But didn't hear of this either.
