For a forum I host, about two weeks ago I started a process on my server that was crawling it's threads and downloading the photobucket pics. Then I disallowed photobucket image links and replaced the existing links to point to the images stored on my servers. 100% photobucket free and not a single post on my forum is affected. This new policy hurts forum owners as much as the members, but it was also an opportunity to grow membership for vigilant forum admins.
