Hosting Sites NOT NAMED Photobucket?

[Jason]

And wouldn't it say "Bandwidth exceeded" if I... you know... exceeded bandwidth?

[Jason]

It flat out says "3rd party hosting".

Photobucket is about to fuck over everyone. I deleted about 100 pictures and still nothing.

[Jason]

I'm now at 1% storage. It is still being a cunt. Fuck photobucket.

[Jason]

My Clint signature is dead. Have to re-save and re-upload. MAN, fuck photobucket. I cannot stress that enough, guys. FUCK. PHOTO.BUCKET.

tinypic seems okay so far, just can't edit the photos as far as I can tell.

I prefer IMGur over tinypic. But they have that same issue where I'm just not sure if they'll delete an image after a year or two.

did you set up an account or just using their main page? I'd assume the stuff on the main page gets deleted but images in accounts don't? Ah, well, I'll find out.

[Jason]

For tinypic, I don't have an account. I just use the quick host option.

yeah I'd assume those get deleted after a while. I set up an account, so we'll see in a year's time if they get deleted too or not


also, the magic gif was giving me the option to save it, so I don't know what Z's doing wrong

[Jason]

It is official. I looked more into the situation and photobucket is now locking all accounts and preventing them from posting images anywhere. Unless you give them 400 dollars. Slimy pieces of shit.

A comment from someone who's having the same issues...

Unfortunately, here is the answer they gave me. Unless you give them money, they will not unlock your links. Also, I don’t think the first of the 3 plans will work. I think they require you to use the most expensive one which is $400 a year.

Looks like imgur will be my go-to hosting site, now.

I just created a tinypic account just now, but I saved it when we got this site up and running again (because I couldn't remember my password so when I did, I went in and clicked the "Download album" option and saved it as a .zip file to my comp. Haven't added anything new since then.

[Jason]

Waitwaitwait. You clicked download album in photobucket? And it saved all the images to the computer?

[Dream]

Waitwaitwait. You clicked download album in photobucket? And it saved all the images to the computer?

yes. it compiles them into a .zip file. that file gets saved to your computer. You click extract all and it puts all the pictures in a file, ready to be used again.

[Jason]

Do I need an actual zip?

[Dream]

Do I need an actual zip?

no

[Jason]

.................... I need to download album. rightfuckingnow.

Thx

[Jason]

396 images downloaded.

There are 436 in that photobucket account.

[Jason]

Downloaded twice, and it's downloading 396 of the 436 needed. No idea which ones it's deciding to leave out.

Is it possible to hate anything more than photobucket?
