Photobucket accused of blackmail after quietly requiring users to pay $400 a year to hotlink

Sadly those of us who have hosted images including avatars and forum signatures who used photobucket to host are now screwed. Re-uploading hundreds if not thousands of pictures to a different host and then fixing all the [img] links is a damn disaster. Expect to see a lot of missing pictures and broken links on Argonath and throughout the internet.

PhotoFucket has been horrible since 2009 or so anyway.
