   "Image Hosting Is Not Permitted

We have detected that you are hosting images using a free tier account in violation of our terms of use. You can either purchase an unlimited hosting plan or immediately stop hosting."

The first line was in bold letters..and the part about in-violation was underlined!

I believe the last time I hosted pics was over a year and a half ago!..and it was here on 2A page and I was using the now-defunct tinypic hosting site (which was bought out by photobucket a couple of years ago).

Over the last many months, they have spammed my email with constant (pathetic) offers to upgrade, and now a bossy tyrannical threat!

Anybody else getting fed up with all the various threats in 2020?

	Photobucket has to be up there with IBM and Sears who were clueless in adapting to the modern age.

	I have managed to drag any photo I didn't have a copy on my computer off that bunch of A holes site and really do expect them to burn in Hell before they get a dime from me. They ruined a half dozen Discussion groups photos for me. Vintage Stereo Firearms Willys even some home remodeling stuff. SO screw them. OK rant over
