Just an FYI

I had to open my fourth Photobucket account late last week and I find this rather uncanny. I had my first one for years and I do mean years before I had to open my 2nd. I opened a 3rd to house all my personal photos of wrestlers and they don't get posted anywhere, I give friends the guest password to go in and copy them to their account or PC.

But ( Read more... )

omg!!! i just opened my email this morning and photobucket said im about to go over my limit :(
that sucks!!!!! i still have to post stuff,like everyday....at toc,at the ken comm,my jack comm...my own pictures. so im gonna have to make another photobucket. which sucks. because i already have at least 5. i just stopped using the older 4. i could go back and use one of the others but id rather start from scratch and not have old shit mixed with new stuff.

this sucks though :( :(

Yep, it does suck ass. I got the same lovely email and almost fell over. I specifically remember Bella and I talking about making new PB accts not that long ago. If I wanted to I'd go through TOC's posts and find the exact time I mentioned opening this last one and now it is almost over the limit in less than 6 months! WTF ( ... )

Same here,Bella and I were just discussing bandwidth and stuff. This really sucks..I don't wanna have all of my stuff seperated! I have so many wrestling pics of .... everyone. All of my Randy stuff,Jack stuff,Cena,Jeff,Teddy...now I'm gonna have all of my pictures seperated!!! :(
This sucks so muchhhhhh! *cries* Now when I need to find a certain picture,I'm gonna have to open up 2 accounts to search. This blows ass seriously. I dont wanna do it. I think I may end up just upgrading to pro. $40 for a year. but then i dunno....
40 freaking dollars when i could just make a new account for free.

blah i dunno what the fuck to do! and i wonder how much longer until all of my pictures arent shown anymore. there's less than 5gb left...

and omg,the nasty looking dick! i bet thats hilariouuusssss!! the other day,i was showing my cousin chyna's..small penis looking thing and in that search came up with some tiny as hell REAL penises....omg. poor guys. really.

I didn't want to make a new one either but I don't want to run the risk of my other pics in the 2nd account not showing anymore.

I just gave her a rundown on bandwidth on a site versus bandwidth on wifi too.

I just won't pay for a pro account. I'm already paying for 2 LJs and my video/music host. I just can't stomach the idea of paying for an image host too.

Tiny penises! Hahaha! Maybe I should make some pics of those too and say "hotlinkers have real small dicks". I'm such a bitch. Haha!

everytime somone looks at your pictures,your bandwidth goes down.
so with all the people looking at every single picture....it's gonna keep on dropping over and over until there's nothing left. and hotlinking is where you post that person's picture without saving it to your own host. you just copy and paste THEIR link so whoever looks at the picture you posted...it's still using up the other persons bandwidth.

oh, but it always resets, right? you don't lose your pics or anything. i don't think mine has ever gotten to that point, so i guess people aren't looking at them. well, it is private so does that matter?

i always do save as. i thought that was the only way. it's so easy, why do people hotlink??!! blahhhhhhhhhhh

Bandwidth in regards to Photobucket is the amount of space they allot you to use on their host. A free account gives you 25 GBs of space on their server with a 1 MB size limit on individual photos.

Hotlinking is when you or I post a picture on our LJs or Comms and someone right clicks on it. You or I or any decent person on this planet would right click and save as to save it to our computers and then upload them on to our image hosts.

Well asshole people right click and copy image location (which is the url of yours or mine PB acct) and repost OUR url for that image on another site. Therefore they are using our bandwidth that was given to us with our free account on PB.

Understand? I don't mind explaining, babe.

Bandwidth on wireless internet is another thing entirely. It's like having a cell phone plan with a certain amount of minutes but in wifi it is a certain amount of GBs. If you go over your cell phone minutes the company charges you for the overage. They do the same if we wifi users go over our GBs.

I so am! I have no patience for hotlinkers. I've gotten several Supernatural Boards in trouble with their hosts for this in the past when their members did this shit to LJ peeps.

Well the cool thing is all the wrestling pics I had in my 1st one are also in the 2nd and I only need to open the 1st one when I'm on my other LJ for Supernatural.

The 3rd - well you know that is private stash pics.

And I figure I'll use this 4th for Comm posting and load pics for my personal pleasure to my website/host.

But this still pisses me off. I mean think about it. My first one I had minimum 6 years and it just got full 6 months ago and I had way more fandoms that I was into. This 3rd one I made in winter and it is almost full.
