Photobutt admits problem, pics back on
 
Botofucket realized they screwed up and don't matter to the internet anymore.

Quote from their CEO:
"Derp derp derp, after careful consideration we realize $400 / year overplayed our hand, and everyone bailed on us for better and cheaper services. So after only like a dozen people, ever, paid the absurd ransom, we admit it failed and are offering to host starting for like $25 / year. Also you totally should trust that we won't do it again, because, um, uh... yeah. Seriously guys, we don't want to go bankrupt like we absolutely deserve to. Derp."

Photobutt, breaking build threads and tutorials since 2017.


But they turned the pics back on temporarily so better download detail pics from builds you like while it lasts.

I don't remember if i nuked my account, but if it's still up i think i should rename their "Ransom Image" several hundred times and reupload it in place of my old pics to waste room on their servers like they've been doing

I see today I got an email from Photobucket May 21... that's certainly more reasonable subscription fee... I got 12yrs into photobucket, over 5000 pics, I wasn't going to be a 5 year old about it & just nuke my account... but never the less, I think it's too late for them to recapture any significant business share ever again & now with this forum being super slow for months & we can't get any tech support from our Host to fix it, this forum is on its way out too... about the only thing this forum is good for is its archive information in the tech forums :(
