I just wanted to comment on the huge impact this decision by Photobucket to start rolling back third party hosting has had on the internet. It's a huge disappointment for so many and thousands if not millions of blogs and bulletin board posts are negatively affected. I myself have used photobucket to host my threads on this CJ3A site, and while a big hassle to use them, the end result is nice for hosting pix.
But during the past week everyone has started to get these ugly replacement images on their posts and blogs saying they need to sign in to Photobucket and basically pay 400 bucks a year to get photo hosting. What a sad development. Lots of folks say even if one paid it Photobucket shot themselves in the foot fatally by doing this without warning and they will sink beneath the waves soon enough from this huge blunder of a business decision, and your money would be gone anyway.
But I vow to rebuild my thread(s), even if I have to start a new one. I'm lucky I guess, my threads on here aren't that long. Some of you guys have dozens of pages. I wish you luck!
And I'll finish up by also mentioning that i really appreciate what you guys do for this CJ3A page, and BBS system. I really appreciate how there are no clickbait ads crowding out our posts. It's amazing how BAD most bulletin boards/forums have gotten. I hear that a couple big companies have just bought out all the forums and bulletin boards they can and put up these atrocious clickbait scantily clad women crap. I hate that.
Thanks to you the CJ3A moderators and supporters. When there is a drive again, I'll donate!
