So I've just started to realize over the past few months how many threads (especially in the project shop) have been ruined because photobucket-hosted pictures will no longer load. At first I thought it could be solved by signing up for a free account through them or something, but as far as I can tell there's no fix.
I imagine this is the case with basically any other forum where users have used photobucket to host their photos. Don't they realize how big an effect they're having? It's really awful. I would highly recommend anybody using them to quickly move their photos to a service like Imgur or Google Photos.
Sorry if this has been discussed already, but it's terrible the amount of information the forum has lost because of this. I guess all they care about is their bottom line though. Thanks, capitalism!
