Re: Photobucket Demands $400 Ransom to Release Photos
"2018 UPDATE"
"Good news" - Photobucket has released all the hostage images. Their reign of terror is over and the CEO who implemented that disaster was shitcanned.
Apparently sometime this year, they rolled out new, affordable pricing plans, (too fucking late, I'll not give them another penny) AND they "turned on" the images that had been held hostage.
Read about it here.

Photobucket’s experiment with being a $399.99 premium service is over, and so too is the tenure of the CEO who led it. The Denver-based photo storing service on Thursday revealed it has slashed its prices and restored millions of photos around the internet hoping to mollify millions of customers it angered last year.
“It’s the first step of many to restore the trust of customers,” said Ted Leonard, Photobucket’s new CEO.

Photobucket on Wednesday also turned back on millions of users’ images that were still linked to around the web.
The move allowed the images to reappear in place instead of the stock speedometer image that had replaced them last summer. Leonard ruefully joked that speedometer might have become the most viewed image in internet history, though one linked to users’ anger with the company.
“This was weighing on us,” he said. “We wanted to see the images replaced and the internet to be put back together in a sense.”
All the missing pics in the gun pics threads should be back again!
No more...

Update #2
Although Photobucket has "released" everyone's images and they are now back to being displayed on forums, they must have come up with this brilliant idea to coax people to pay to not have a big assed watermark displayed on top of the image.
I haven't looked into it, but I can assume that's what they are doing it for.
Pisses me off. "Proudly" hosted on Photobucket, my ASS.

Too little too late. Too bad, so sad. I hope they go out of business.
Life has a melody. Not great, not terrible.

I do too.
I was ready to cut them some slack since the moron who came up with the extortion idea was shitcanned, but the new watermark just renews my anger. They would have done well to choose another route because THIS isn't going to win them over with anyone either.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
