Thank you Karak for waking us up, I believe we need a systematic approach to the problem of Photobucket changing its user policy, all holding in 4 steps. (I’m a production engineer, I like bullet point lists )
1 - First everyone still active needs to switch their pictures to another host (or pay 60$ per year) and refresh their own posts.
2 - Instead of going for only our favorites, I now create a list of all threads sensible to this issue which I will update as you guys give me info (URLs of threads containing photobucket pictures from users inactive more than 6 months).
3 – Take action, only once the lists are complete. Recreat the original threads with most important information and text, clearly stating that this is a copy of original content from another user. The idea is that if we start recreating the old links, this will shift dramatically the order in which the threads are sorted in each section.
4 – Update the following URL list to avoid working in double.
**** Admins, this initiative might not go in the direction you want to go, feel free to comment or even ask me to sit back down, you might have tools or infos I don’t. I volunteer to become a “temporary admin” to help with updating the content. ****
*edit*
Thank you Admin, the list of URLs is now populated. We are up to Step 3.
If any of you guys take the time to update your links yourself, please write it down this thread.
