Yes, it appears Photobucket have chosen to hold every photo ever hosted there hostage for a $400/user ransom. It's heinous.

Pure extortion. I feel somewhat lucky that I made a conscious choice a long time ago to stick exclusively with google. However, I do pay $20 for my 10 Terabytes of storage, but every family photo, video, or document is on my personal server. The way I see it is if google servers go down, there is nothing short of nuclear war and I don't want to live anyway.
