Default Warning: using photobucket? ~Porsche content

It looks like all of the images that I've posted on rennlist are now gone. From the look of a few threads, I'm not the only one who use(d) them. We've all lost a significant amount of content.

I always felt free photo host sites were baiting me... Some make it impossible to delete once uploaded too... p-bucket CEO may soon be second to the guy from Epipen, yikes!

I absolutely hate Photobucket but I haven't bothered to find an alternative. Open to suggestions but for what it's worth, my pictures are still up.

This latest turn of events is a MAJOR blow to this and other forums... many are not paying the ransom and makes thread value go way down .... Wait till YT does it, yikes!

All my old threads are f'd. Others have suggested using imgur. I might give that a shot, but it's going to take some effort to go find all my old threads and update embedded images.

Ive used Imgur in the past with success. I guess I'll start the migration there full time.

I have a bunch of other forums on Tapatalk and all are suffering same fate, grumbling is getting louder....

Think the Mod's are gonna have to hunt down all those thread Authors from a decade ago and ask them to re-create

Epipen is MYLAN NV: CEO: Heather Bresch.

You are probably conflating her with Martin Shkrelli

You are correct... Hoewever, she's in the Hot Seat too from what I read....

Think we'll see much more of the "it was free", pay up ... All those iCloud freebies, data storage, watch out... How's it go, "Nothing in life is free" ....
