However, you are doing a great favor by doing it. Your endeavour in 1:64 had a tremendous effect on many people and it would be a waste if it couldn't continue in the past.<br /><br />I also agree drawing the line between corporate users and not-for-profit users would have been quite hard.<br /><br />MattMatthieu Lachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812873374306516493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-78386280706736791142017-07-21T09:32:48.084-04:002017-07-21T09:32:48.084-04:00I feel your pain, Matthieu:

It's going to take some time. Fortunately, I am (soon to be "was") a paying customer of Photobucket so I have until December 2018 to do the migration - and it just might take that long!<br />I'm moving my images to my own server, which is hosted by my ISP and is where my WordPress-powered blogs reside.<br />I agree - Photobucket had the right to change it terms of service and I think they're being fair in giving those who have been paying a grace period. I'm disappointed that they are offering a single, corporate rate (US$400 per year) for those who want third-party hosting. I think they could've come up with a not-for-profit rate for person blogs and such, although it would require enforcement. However - their business, their rules.<br />Again, good luck with the migration!<br />- Trevor (Port Rowan in 1:64, Achievable Layouts, and Adventures in Live Steam)Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-87903398098717241112017-07-20T08:22:49.715-04:002017-07-20T08:22:49.715-04:00Steve, we can almost compare it to the loss of Ale...Steve, we can almost compare it to the loss of Alexandria Library in Antiquity to some extent. And most people won't have the time, energy or will to replace the pictures. It's quite sad in term of knowledge loss.Matthieu Lachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812873374306516493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-12661429411917247152017-07-20T08:18:10.604-04:002017-07-20T08:18:10.604-04:00Wow, it looks like Photobucket really didn't t...Wow, it looks like Photobucket really didn't think this through. I see a LOT of angry people out there. Personally I host my own images or use Blogger, but I can see how this would create a TON of work to restore things. :(Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.com
