They have NO excuse. They saw many emails hadn't been read, so why didn't they put a New Image Hosting Policy video that pops on their site the minute people go to it? This would have given people notice easily that this was going to happen soon.

You know why they didn't? Because it gives people time to move their stuff off photobucket and to somewhere else. they wanted to catch folks off guard and hold their photos for ransom, so people who have used it for years and have hundreds of thousands of pictures on their sites, can't afford to NOT pay that 400 to keep them up.

But photobucket fucked up, because I'm sure many of the folks who were strong armed into paying, won't be on their greedy little site next year. If i were them, i'd spend whatever time i had for the rest of the year to make sure i have ALL my stuff off and onto a site that respects its users. 

The price is RIDICULOUS. I may have considered 20.00 a year or so but 399? Bitch no!
