Photobucket & Third Party Hosting.

If members want another option for personal photo hosting, I can recommend smugmug.com , I've been using them for about 7-8 years for my photography hobby. They have 3 or 4 levels starting from $3.99 per month, and even the lowest level has unlimited photo uploads and unlimited photo bandwidth for sharing and linking on forums.
Here's a referral link https://secure.smugmug.com/signup?Coupon=3MDk82MhINcPg (in the interests of openness, I get a small credit towards my next year's bill if anyone uses it, but even without it I would still recommend smugmug)

Hey guys,
This was just pointed out to me by Andrew. I am on my way out the door but will read it in it's entirety. I am sure we will come up with something :mmr:

So... I have been thinking about upgrading our hosting service anyway. This package is a few years old, so it is not as up to date.
Now, I know there are cheaper hosting services out there. However, I do not like the "shared" web hosting model. I have done it before... I have seen other sites who do it now... I don't like the down time associated with it. I prefer a dedicated web host, whether virtual or physical. Currently, MM is hosted on a dedicated Virtual Host. It isn't a low end package either. Again, I like the stability.
I can move it over to a dedicated physical server for an additional $20 a month (on top of what I pay now) and get 1TB of storage.
I think I am going to do that.

And I for one have already started migrating my hot linked in-line photos off of Photobucket and onto a private host. And updating my post links here. I hope to do that gradually for all my past forum photos before Photobucket pulls the plug on me, if they do. If not,I have all my photobucket albums downloaded and can do it anyway.. Should be seamless.

Eric I for one am happy to help towards extra costs, and I'm sure that's true of a fair few others.
Steve, although it's good that you are able (as a moderator) to upgrade your links to point to another source, don't forget that the majority of Madmodders cannot alter a post after a short period has elapsed following posting, so that is not an option for many.
