I bow to your better knowledge of running such a company Trevor. But guys on other forums are losing all the pictures they've posted unless they cough up $400, after being told they've exceeded their free quota. But most have nowhere near even reached that quota.
Never the less I just hate the palava of posting a single picture lately, let alone multiples. I used to post far more pictures than I do now, usually in an attempt to help someone with a project or query.
Photobucket offered me a free service and I'm now waiting for them to ask me to start paying for it. I already lost all my pictures for a week or so until I complained. I for one would be more than happy to chip in for a site that enables me to post pictures directly from my own folders like the other forums I visit ...I'll just have to see what happens. Ron
I don't know what business model Photofucket were following when they began but what they've done now is to turn the world of specialist forums on its head as many of us have used it exclusively for years.
Like Ron, I've posted more help than queries and have shared information and photos from my collection with the wider community. The question is, How much would I be prepared to pay in order to continue with that ? Something in single figures per month probably but certainly not US$400 per year.
I fear that this will hasten the end of decent forums and increase the flight to Arse-about-facebook where photo hosting is a click of the mouse away.
Me too Rob. All my Photobucket pictures are in other folders on my computer. But it's as I feared today they've deleted all the pictures I ever posted on here. Ron
