Photobucket Fiasco
I just saw the ransom request by Photobucket and the subsequent blocking of all photos on the years of threads posted here on the forum. Does anybody have a suggestion on a 3rd party hosting site for the photos?

Flickr or Imgur. I'm currently removing all my pics from Photobucket.

Yeah I'm going to download all mine. I'll probably just host them myself.

The images are still hosted at the bucket for now. Right clicking on their advert and opening in a new tab will show the image. I would consider a web host myself as the best option too. I probably won't though. Holding tight and seeing what comes of it all. Would be a shame for all the good threads we've done to go to waste |

Edit.. Oh no! Now they've taken the hyperlink out of their replacement images. Doesn't work anymore. Niceeee one Photobuckets.

What if we all chipped in for a GG only hosting site? Seems to be enough geeks on here to sort out the logistics. Or at least help us find a "third party supporting" hosting site?

Paying a small subscription for a private host is probably the best option. Thinking about it, most internet service providers would give you a certain allocation of webspace along with the account. Not sure if this still happens or not. |

Ya me to. I had complete tear down and assemble pics of engines on another dirt bike forum. If someone come up with a good solution I am all ears.

ADVRider is going insane right now. Nearly every build thread, tutorial, and diagnostics walkthrough is in pieces. It's beyond frustrating. I'm wondering how long before someone starts a class action lawsuit on this. I'll bet it is winnable.
Smugmug is another great hosting site. It's privately owned by a motorcycle fanatic. No real great reason to use it over any of the other options. But if I had to choose to give my money to a corporation or to a private motorcycle guy I won't have to think twice.
