Photobucket to stop providing image hosting?

Mine is still working for now.

I paid for my PB storage which included unlimited bandwidth (subject to fair use) so I'm working on the assumption that they can't legally limit that due to it being an existing contract. I presume gouginess will happen when it comes up for renewal.

And I presume their renewal communication will be along the lines of "Nice image collection you've got here. It'd be a shame if anything... happened... to it."

That 'please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting' image needs to be blicked.

Your avatar has skewed the whole of my phone screen

Everyone who uses off-site hosting for their avatar should be blicked.

I suppose you'd have to define animation too. At what point is something animated?

I suppose a strict definition is a fps rate greater than persistance of vision (so what, >10fps?).

So. How frequently does an avatar have to change to be animated? I had one a while back that could conceivably be called animated even if not in the strict definition. It only had a very subtle 5x5 pixel frame change for 1/4 of a second every 8 seconds. It had also been up for nearly 10 years.

I tend to go with if it looks like it's moving or flashing to me, then I call it animated and delete it. There are a couple of forum members who have had very subtly animated avatars since before there was a rule on them.

Still need to mince around with hardware, IP addresses, fair use policy, dire upload speeds, excessive beer consumption during setup etc etc
