Yeah, photobucket are right asshats. I won't be surprised if they loose 90% of their users who had older paid accounts (that don't exist anymore) will loose third party hosting by the end of next year.

Using DreamWidth's image storage now for my banner and backgrounds (my LJ's now just a mirror site) and any time I want to put a photo in a post but yeah, my image blog is toast unless I want to spend a boatload of time re-uploading and -linking. Since my images were all amateur anyway, that falls into the category of "I don't think so."
