As most you know, Photobucket has been a favorite of sig makers like me and also a favorite for people to host their sigs for use on the forum. I also used it to store pictures, graphics and other things cause it was easy to share them on the forums or in Yahoo Messenger. (YM - Damn, I'm old..lol)

I always paid for a premium account so I could have more space and so that hosted sigs could be used.

 

Anyways.. Photobucket has gotten greedy. The $25 per year plan that I had will no longer be available and for 3rd party hosting (which is needed for sig use on forums) they want the horrendous amount of something like $500 per year!! I'm quite pissed that they've gotten so greedy and will not be continuing any type of upgraded account.

 

This means that my sig here, sigs used by others that were hosted by me, and all the sigs in the memory lane post will not be able to be viewed soon. Other sigs like the ones that Blyss posted will also probably be gone.

 

I don't know how much longer mine will be able to be viewed but I assume mine will be OK till April.

 

If there is a sig you wish to keep, please save it now before they go poof.

 

Just out of curiosity.. Does anyone know of another hosting site that is free?
