Fed up with Photobucket!!

[The moose]

Don't know if this already been discussed here, then please direct me to the correct thread...I have about 1000 pictures that I over the years have uploaded to Photobucket. Now they suddenly change the rules and take my pics ransom and are asking 399 bucks per year for me to be able to access them. I can't even see my old pics that I have posted in threads on TRF before. I just get hit with this sign whenever I am trying to watch all posted pics or access and post pics or even download pics back to my computer…



I found a mail from them in the trash folder that I had received close to the change date where they informed about this...but anyway, come on!!

I know that Photobucket is free and I should been aware that this might happen but it just upsets me...!

Anyone else that is affected by this? How have you handled it, did you pay?

Any pointers on what to do?
