I think its time I closed my photobucket account.

The website no longer loads on request, unless the third squid of the second pack of wolves on the night of the purple moon passes by. I get a lot of ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE messages from the specific server that my account is on. Which, when changing from say Library to Settings shouldn't exactly prompt this kind of ERR message you would think. Along with wanting to charge for offsite linking to images, that they had offered for more than a decade, and outright disabling it for all free accounts is outrageous to me.

I found this gem here on how to download all your photos from photobucket with out using the app to do so. Since that has also been removed from the Website interface. This comment (here) simplifies the steps a bit, but it also may take out the subfolder setup from the tutorial. I wasn't interested in the subfolders, so I decided to skip that step.

All those photos that I downloaded and had on photobucket have been put into my dump folder with my other images... Have fun going through it! Because I don't really care about it lol.
