Note to all members;

Grab your pics before they disappear again! I hope all those across the InterWeb that paid 400 bucks to save all those cat pics are requesting refunds.

looks like they released the photos that were in some of the older threads.

Just out of curiosity I went back to PB to see if I could log in (I had told them to delete my account because I did not agree with their policy). For a couple months I still got emails from them and my pics were still there. I repeated my disdain for their policies. Well, they must have listened because I cannot log in now and I am glad for that.

I have more willpower! LOL

I didn't have that many pics on PB and my threads that I deemed worthy of saving were fixed after the debacle.

Most the emails after the money grab were to buy stuff - Like toilet seats and military grade flashlights. :doh:

Looks like mine are back up also .. I doubt that I will be loading anymore pics there though . But I am glad they are back up on a lot of the old threads ..

From the "for what it's worth" department: the Ideabook portion of iBoats will actually work like a photo hosting service. If you wanted to hotlink from the idea book into your topic, it should work about the same way as Photobucket. I added a portion to the photo tutorial on that.

Photobucket's new CEO is gonna' have to stew up some serious dance moves to make things groove again. I think they're a one trick pony and no one's really interested in the trick any more.

The damage has been done and I don't see people that were burned going back to PB...

I always uploaded my images to iBoats when I was posting a pic here. But man, it is/was annoying looking at posts on forums with PB blocked images. Just viewing blocked images in forums was a 100% negative reflection of their business.
