The idiots at Photobucket finally realized they screwed up: LINK

Photobucket on Wednesday also turned back on millions of users’ images that were still linked to around the web.
The move allowed the images to reappear in place instead of the stock speedometer image that had replaced them last summer. Leonard ruefully joked that speedometer might have become the most viewed image in internet history, though one linked to users’ anger with the company. |

and they shouldn't.

While I'm glad they released the millions of photos they had held hostage, they certainly lost me as a user. I'll never to back to my Photobucket account again.
Whenever a forum hosts pictures (like TheSamba) I use that. For forums that don't have photo storage I moved to Imgur. No one needs Photobucket.
