I am sure most people know about the photobucket saga of blocking all direct links unless you payed them hundreds of $. Well it didn't end well so they enabled direct links again and lowered their prices. I've stopped using it. But I now saw that photobucket puts an ugly pb overlay on all your uploads. So basicly your pictures hosted become unusable. Sample here:

Proudly hosted, huh. XD;; I doubt that.
Vengeance does not seem proud.
Vengeance seems full of.... well, vengeance. XDD;;
But yeah, I got into mine the other day,
to get some of my older pixel work off of it. It kind of sucks now. :/

@Zuzu: How do you like that image hosting site?

I'm looking for a new image hosting site so I can start playing around with art and graphics. If anyone has any recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated.

@Selikait: i like it pretty well. tis free, easy to upload to and organize things into albums.
i also like that when i upload something it keeps the file name in the url,
unlike imgur or gyazo when i upload something i'll get random letters/numbers in the url.

@Zuzu: Thank you. I will have to look into that. I like the idea of keeping the file names. It will make it way easier when posting.

Millet, spilling the tea:


Photobucket used to be the 'go to' back in the day.
Now it's just yikes, there's other free photo hosting platforms idk how they think
they can survive likes this with how obnoxious they are about everything. :x

I haven't even heard the name "photobucket" in years. I almost forgot it existed. Honestly I can't believe it still does.

I've had photobucket for literally years, and it's just spiraled downwards the entire time. So much so I've abandoned it almost entirely over the past 3 or so years.

Sad thing is, I still have stuff I need to remove from there.

How long has that whole watermark thing been around? Glad they know how to compete with similar companies!

@Kirrai: I think the watermark has been around for a couple of months now.
