It's okay. Some of us downloaded all the pics and will use them on /b/ when it returns.

Edit: I would not REALLY post anything from here to /b/ the post was meant as a joke.

besides /b/ is still down.

Photobucket has a TOS. If you break the TOS, they delete your pictures. I don't see what's so horrible about that. It's the fucking dumbasses that put inappropriate pics up on photobucket in the first place that ruin it.

Pics get hosted and linked, thread gets made, people start talking about it, network traffic spikes for a series of one user's pics, they get flagged for review at Photobucket, review determines them to be nudes or whatever, pics get removed from photobucket. Now you have a thread full of people (links usually spread to multiple forums) handing out links that end up dead. Then you need to rehost them somewhere else, if at all, so new people reading the thread don't go WTF are you talking about and lambaste you for your lack of linking ability. It just snowballs into this huge inconvenience, waste of time, blah blah blah.

Eventually, like what just happened with imageshack and another forum I post on, some dumbass was hosting a bunch of nudes and imageshack found out. Now the entire forum's domain is added to imageshack's blacklist. I actually really like imageshack for hosting (I post pics of me and my crew's kills while bounty hunting in a video game) but now I and others who use the service and actually follow the rules can't use my little imageshack hosting / posting script and have to go out of my way to find another host and rewrite a script if that's even possible with the new host.

Screw your head on straight and make sure links you post are hosted appropriately in the first place and follow the damn rules.

I am sorry but that is not why those services suck.
They suck because they will have intermittent periods where the pictures are unreachable.
E.g. bachelorette party pics!

There were a couple of people that got error messages when trying to view the pics.
But 2 hours later people could still see them on photobucket.

That is "the suck"!

I have used Photobucket for several years and imageshack since it's conception. I've never seen this. Ever.

ATOT where Jessica Alba isn't that good looking, wants to see pictures of chicks at a bachorette party. I sense fail, if J Alba doesn't do it for you, why would you expect some slutty heifers to?

You know the rules, if you have pics, you must post them immedeately, or delay posting the thread. Pics or ban!

That being said, photobucket sucks. bbzzdd or picasa FTW!
