Photobucket

So it looks like Photobucket is screwing everyone and locking up accounts until they pay. They got to me yesterday. I will not pay them
Is there any other good free sites out there for hosting images? I primarily use for pictures I can post here on the forums Please help

Imgur for quick and easy hosting
Flickr for more organization and fancier interface.

I stopped using photobucket a looong time ago.

Facebook has already killed most car forums and Photobucket is helping put the final nail in... So many angry forum users losing their member builds/rides etc

everyone also just congratulates each other no matter how simple/dumb/moronic any mod, or activity is.

post a pic of doing 130 through the town square, wow!

post a pic of mounting a light bar in the place of headlights, cool!



we're uncool because we have an archive of topics to search through, and will tell people our honest opinions instead of just patting them on the back...
