Because most people don’t have the means nor the inclination to host images themselves.I have never used any of those hosting sites mentioned in this topic, and never will.
Why anyone would trust strangers to act in a decent and reasonable fashion when there is potential for them to hold you to ransom for stuff you value and yet have given them contol of, is beyond me.

GAD,
I understand that, but all I'm saying is when one relies on others, one must apply the principle of Caveat Emptor.

Oh no! I'm very scared...
Your account has been marked for deletion.
thank you thank you thank youI migrated all the pics
Oh, I didn't mean to imply it wasn't a bad thing, GAD. It's just that they've been threatening for years.This might have very big impact if they decide to delete accounts that hold images in historically important threads. Think of the amp thread as an example. If they deleted capnjuan's account before I migrated all the pics they'd be gone forever.

Ahh. Gotcha.Oh, I didn't mean to imply it wasn't a bad thing, GAD. It's just that they've been threatening for years.
Indeed. That's what's led to all this. It's why I laugh at their continued warnings and messages about deleting my stuff. I wouldn't trust them with a 10-foot pole.You remember the first Photobucket fiasco in 2017 when they shut off 3rd party hosting on their free accounts, and broke almost every message board and a bunch of other things on the internet?
I recall a heartfelt "we're sorry and we'll NEVER do that again" apology.
