TinyPic closing

[VladTepes]

Well, for all those Photobucket refugees who left when Photobucket pulled free hosting (yes that big debacle) and moved to TinyPic. Bad news. TinyPic is closing. Naturally as they are owned by photobucket they want you to buy a premium photobucket plan as an alternative. Surpise surprise. Pissbucket's cheapest plan is USD $7.99 per nonth

TinyPic is shutting down in 2019

TinyPic is shutting down its image hosting service because we can no longer support a free service that derives 100% of its revenue from ever declining on-site ad revenues.

While you may continue to host images from our site until further notice, we encourage you to consider selecting one of the premium plans offered by our sister site, Photobucket.

Thanks for using TinyPic for your hosting needs over the years. We apologize that we can no longer continue providing this service, but Photobucket is a great option going forward.

THIS is why I encourage people to always use the free gallery provided her on the ORG (best option), or attach images to posts, for any photos/information related to forum content. That way quality information / photos aren't lost when these sites go down.

An option for the tech-savvy (but not for average joe) is self-hosting - see http://landyvlad.net/wp/photobucket-can-kiss-my-arse/
