On the other hand, I was always wandered why those image hosters use huge amount of their resources (which are all, but free) to provide free image hosting? OK, some may say that they earn money selling space for adds, but IMO this is not self-sustaining system. The bubble has burst and Photobucket decided to implement new rules. It would be fair that they established rules before the game begin - say, 10-15-20 bucks for every GB of space per year. This way, if they stick to that decision, Photobucket will kick the bucket.
