Car always looks good!

Looks like it was a good show Dawg. I ended up going to the Valley Collector Car Club Simsbury show. They had about 500 cars there.

Car looks great Harry. Sunday was gorgeous, threat weather for a show. I went to the Enfield 4th of July Show, about 160-170 cars.

Just an aside, Harry... what are you using to host your pictures? Now that Photobucket has decided to charge $400/year for hosting privileges everybody is scrambling to try something different. I wish I could figure out how to use Google Photos to host piix it's free and unlimited.

This is awful. There are 1000's of pics on this site that were hosted by photobucket that are now dead images.

Across the internet though there are millions of pictures that are dead due to photobucket wanting an excessive $400 per year per account. They provided no warning. What a bunch of scumbags.

The internet is in an uproar over it. Even if they try and switch back the damage has been done, no one is gonna trust them now. Sadly, there are plenty of people who will pay 400 a year for the service, and photobucket will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I don't know how many private party people will fork over $400/year to host/store pictures. Google Photos is free and has unlimited storage. IMGUR that Dawg is using is even bigger than PB... I think they host 20 million and they are also free and according to what I've read, they will always be free as they have some serious money behind them. Flickr is also out there.

PB _might_ get 10% (maybe) of their users to pay, but even professional photographers have alternatives and would probably stay away from PB. Every automotive forum I belong to is chirping about the mess. Some allow infinite editing by thread posters and if they have the time and patience, they can probably slowly get working pix back into their threads. Team Camaro doesn't allow editing after so many hours and now the mods are trying to decide what to do to allow thread fixes. Its a mess thats for sure.

Perhaps plenty was a bit over kill haha, but I just ment (some amount of) people are going to pay for it and photobucket will make a ton of money, sadly.
