I don't know if I'd go that far, but one thing's fo sho… Those morons made a completely ridiculous business decision.Brock Turner, Bill Cosby, and Photobucket... I hate rapists, f@ck them.

No Schlitz.I’m prone to hyperbole but, if you base your business on a false ideology of free expression through cost free data hosting, where you gain worldwide acceptance and dependence and then use that power to essentially attempt to extort people into spending $300 a year (or whatever it was) yeah... while not technically rape, or illegal, that abuse of power under false pretense is still excessive and unsavory.
I regret using that analogy because it belittles the experience of the victims of those two horrible men, and is in no way even remotely comparable, so I’d like to apologize for that. I’m truly sorry for my emotional and lame attempt at trying to compare them.
What photobucket did was wrong. They kinda stripped me (and countless others) of a ton of effort and content that will never be replaced, restored, or replicated, and I’m a little salty about it.

All that work we did. All that content, across multiple forums.
I dislike them massively for that. Whomever made that decision is a complete idiot. Reminds me of a certain Gibson CEO.
Yup... we all have our own versions of this dumbassery.The loss of effort in my Design on a Dimebag threads alone leave me slightly devastated.
I downloaded what I wanted, but left everything there as it was. That way everything I posted before will be seen again (if they truly open it up).I deleted all my photos from there when they pulled that crap. Had to download some of them since they were loaded from older devices, but I got them all and moved them. After what they did, I won't go back. Won't reward their decision, and, have no need too.
Would there be another series coming with your recent eBay acquisition?The loss of effort in my Design on a Dimebag threads alone leave me slightly devastated.

That does not mean I'll go back though.

Kinda like Kananga's plan in "Live and Let Die"; give heroin away on the streets, putting the mob/gangs out of business, once you have a sh!t load of addicts, jack up the price
