Yeah this is bullshit, something's up. I haven't uploaded anything since last Tuesday, and I was fine until yesterday. Either all of a sudden someone started hot-linking the shit out of my pictures, or they're trying to f*ck me (or us) over, because I haven't touched my photobucket account in a week.

 

And I'm not upgrading to Pro, I just upgraded my Flickr to Pro, I'll use that.

 

Oh, and they sent me the email on the 20th, saying I had less than 5gb left to use. I haven't uploaded ANYTHING since then! What the hell?!? Oh well, I just have to wait until 9th of next month to get my shit back. And I KNOW for a fact I havent' uploaded 25gigs worth of stuff this month. I barely upload anything on there.

That bandwidth error has nothing to do with what you've put ON there. It's their system complaining that too much is being downloaded from there.

 

One thing that has always irritated me about Photobucket is that they don't provide usage / hit reports (at least as far as I've seen). It'd be nice to see # of hits and where they're coming from...

That's ridiculous... And for so many people to suddenly be getting the error at once, something's fishy.

 

I think they just told all the people that work there to find someone's account, and just spend all day opening their pictures. :(:P

Weren't quite a few of those people hosted on your account? Their sig pics, I mean..?

 

I know my sig pic alone - just on here - has been hit over 12k times this month. If I were on more boards, it'd be a lot more than that. Multiply that sig pic by a few people on a few boards, you could start chewing through some bandwidth... especially if you have some big ol' post hoes who are posting a LOT on different boards... :mad:

 

EDIT : OH, yeah... I almost forgot... that last sentence of your's... Yeah, I'm sure they'd rather go open all of YOUR pictures a bunch of times, rather than hot chicks ... or even giraffes! :mad:

Yeah I guess that could be it. Gotta start telling people not to host their sigs from my account... :lol:

I'm reading your posts and am trying to figure what you're talking about.Is there a short or easy explanation to ''bandwidth'' and 25g. is all about? I know our sig pics are linked to an online photo hosting site and that's about it.BTW when I bring the pointer over top of the ''Upgrade to Pro'' window in the lower left hand corner of the screen there it shows a web address to MySpace....

take it easy on me guys,you know I'm an old f*ck and some things take time to sink in :lol:

Storage space is how much you can store on their site.

 

Bandwidth is basically how much 'traffic' is generated going to specific files on the site. So, if you have a 100kb file and it is accessed 1000 times, you have generated 100,000kb of transfers (bandwidth) from that site for that file.

 

Does that make sense?

Mine is exceeded. And i am not paying to upgrade to pro. Bunch of BS if you ask me. I tried imageshack too, but photobucket is better IMO!

 

Yeah something just doesn't seem right that so many people's accounts are suddenly exceeded all at one time. I know it happened to a couple guys on GMFS also.
