How to I move my content from Bucket to Flickr?

You have to download it all. PAIN IN THE ...!

DAMN!  I have 40 G's!

I had about 20 gigs on mine. If you have good internet at work just click and walk away

I have been using PBase for all my online photos.  Paid site, no ads.

I just saw the "change".  What a bunch of douchebags.  They allowed hosting pictures and even gave you the forum links.  Now they want $399 a year.  Fuck them!  Pulling all of my pics off of their site asap since the links don't work now anyway.

$400!? FOR WHAT?! There are countless image hosting sites out there to use. This will be the death of PB for sure.

Go read the comments on their FB page about the changes.  They are getting countless bitching from people saying they've ruined thousands of sites with this new policy.  They are trying to hijack people's blogs after offering a free service and then when it's been implemented, they want to charge $399 to keep it.

Extortion?

WOW! I mean this is crazy. Think of all the sites that might have linked images or blogs etc. A lot of pissed off people for sure. Seems pretty crooked to me on their part.

Gotta wonder if this was the plan all along...

Seems like a reasonable business model.  Kick out the bums free-loading on you (no hand outs), only after you own the rights to their images; charge those who see the value in your service.

Put another way, image hosting is not a right.  Run your own image repository website.  In the voice of our former leader, "you didn't build that image hosting service."


I know people will bitch, but those people were never going to pay anyways;  A buck a month would have been outrageous, because you know they won't stop there, soon it'll cost 2 bucks a month, then 4...   madness


I don't understand why anyone still uses pb, free or not, it was not a user friendly site.

Over time (since 2010) my storage became almost full.
They wanted me to pay to upgrade. I never did....then
months later noticed I had lot's of storage space then.
