To rain, or not to rain, that is the question of the morning. My car seriously needs a bath.

Photobucket’s experiment with being a $399.99 premium service is over, and so to is the tenure of the CEO who led it. The Denver-based photo storing service on Thursday revealed it has slashed its prices and restored millions of photos around the internet hoping to mollify millions of customers it angered last year.
“It’s the first step of many to restore the trust of customers,” said Ted Leonard, Photobucket’s new CEO.
He became CFO at the 15-year-old company in October, after it surprised users worldwide by starting to charge $399.99 for hosting a large number of photos and being able to post them on third-party blogs, ecommerce sites and elsewhere.
John Corpus, Photobucket’s CEO at the time, defended the change, saying a subscription model was necessary given the disparity between the online ad revenue Photobucket’s website generated and the expense of hosting billions of images its 90 million customers stored with Photobucket.
But the pricing, especially the $399.99 a year service that enabled posting images on third-party sites, didn’t convert a meaningful number of Photobucket users into paying subscribers, Leonard said Thursday.
“There’s not a one-plan-fits-all approach to image hosting,” he said. “We can build a subscriber-based business without charging more money than the perceived value of the service.”
Leonard became CEO in March. The company has spent the weeks since them coming up with new pricing and strategies to make 90 million customers happy and generate revenue.
The new prices start at $1.99 per month for 10 gigabytes of images stored and rise to $3.99 monthly for 20 gigabytes and $8.99 for two terabytes of storage. All the plans enable third-party hosting for a $2.49 monthly add-on price.
Photobucket on Wednesday also turned back on millions of users’ images that were still linked to around the web.
The move allowed the images to reappear in place instead of the stock speedometer image that had replaced them last summer. Leonard ruefully joked that speedometer might have become the most viewed image in internet history, though one linked to users’ anger with the company.

Me either. But it'd be nice if our threads had pictures again. A lot of people took the time to take and post them.

Judging from the old random funny picture thread, looks like a lot of the photos have returned. I went back to posts from 2011 just to be sure. There are still some 'not found' photos, but I think those were probably user removed. I'm with others saying too little, too late. I've already moved on to other free services.

The other reason is that I've noticed that the pics that were uploaded have changed their extension. Otherwise you can't download and view it without Photobucket app or webpage. I tried to go back and download the rest of my pics and couldn't convert back to .jpg That was a couple of months ago so maybe they've changed it back.

I subscribed at $19.99 per year. That amount seems entirely reasonable to me and saves me a ton of time uploading the pics to another site.
