Speaking of not trusting for-profit companies to be a good home for fandom...
Photobucket discontinues 3rd-party image linking unless you get a paid account that costs $400 a year.
Without warning, either. So many sites host their images on Photobucket. This is going to break so much fandom history, I don't even know where to start.
ETA: Okay, maybe one thing. Looking at the new ToS, they offer a number of tiers of service, from free through the top-tier $400/year. Only the top level offers third party image hosting. Dear Photobucket, if you think millions of people were using your site just for personal image storage, I have a surprise for you.
