For years I've used Photobucket to host my photos, but now they went and demanded 400 bucks a year to restore that functionality. So I decided to seek alternatives for photo hosting. Many people suggested Blogger, but now Lit automatically censored the part that says blog spot in the link, making the tag broken. So, now that I can't use Blogger to host images on here for my RPs either, do you guys know of any better alternatives? Images have always been an integral part of my storytelling experience, and I'd hate to lose the ability to display them in between text in my posts.

Well, the future of Flickr is up in the air from what I heard since Verizon is purchasing Yahoo, and Imgur's rules specifically state not to link to any adult material and not to do any third party hosting period. Sure, I could get away with it but if they cut off hosting like Photobucket did then I'm right back where I started. But I'll try Google Photos and see if that works. Thanks :D.
 
That would hurt Flickr because there's quite the erotic photography community there.
 
Okay, Google Photos seems to have worked. Is my Harley sig displaying to you guys as well?
 
I think the Bucket fucked themselves with a termite infested 4 x 4.

And don't call me Shirley.
 
Do you think The Bucket will back down? Surely no one will pay that.

Nah, I can't really blame them. With millions of users hosting images on hordes of third party sites, I imagine they were losing a lot of money maintaining the bandwidth. If they made this kind of change and pissed this many people off, it was likely because they couldn't afford to keep it going for free.
 
Photobucket has been running like shit for over a year. Now they want money to link photos, even though there bunch of add, and its slow as fuck.

Also, I'm not seeing you signature
