The problem we all face who are currently with Photobucket is finding a viable solution.
Only 5 logical possibilities exist;
1. Stay with Photobucket and pay the ransom of AUD$520 and have all your thread images immediately reinstated.
2. Share the cost of a 500 plus Photobucket plan with other members (forming a member sydicate).
3. Wait till AFF find a solution using its own AFF servers to store the images and hopefully a script is installed allowing albums and photos to be relinked when photos are uploaded.
4. Find another image hosting site that allows 3rd party hosting, and hope a script is provided by AFF to relink images in threads to the new host.
5. Set up your own site / server.
The problem with (4) is that with millions of Photobucket users moving to sites like Imgur, Flicker and others, is the added pressure and 3rd party hosting costs these sites will obviously experience, forcing them to maybe also charge high yearly fees like Photobucket down the track.
Choices? ... But what to do.
