Should We Ban Photobucket?
ugh, Photobucket is the worse! and i think it's time to ban Photobucket from BP.net!
last year, Overnight, PB took all your pix hostage and demanded a ransom of at least $400/year if u want to share YOUR PIX w/ others and on other websites.
this ruined millions of websites. this ruined countless threads here on our forum itself. i did a quick check and here are some threads that were ruined by PB.

lotsa How-To/DIY and pix threads were ruined. i've always pointed fellow forumers esp. the newbies to some of these threads esp. the setups but now they are not as helpful w/o their accompanying pix.
even the peeps who have a paid Photobucket account, they're pix and stuff is still loaded w/ ads and crap. i just clicked on one pix and here is what happened:
it is so laggy.
i think it's so laggy b/c it's loading all the ads, popups and clickbait and stuff. well, one caught my eye and i did click it. big mistake!
it downloaded crap and froze my web browser/computer.
i think it's time to ban Photobucket. please consider this proposal.
