My problem with the fourm is now photobucket wants me to pay 399.00 a year so you can see my pictures on here. That's not going to happen so now all my threads are no good and if I go to another sharing sight I have to go back the all my threads and redo pick's and that's not going to happen so now years of builds are lost it stinks.

Yeah I just had to pay the annual fee with photobucket for the storage I use. I was paying $30 per year on auto renew. This year it wouldn't auto renew for some reason and after several attempts to contact a human I learned that I had to basically cancel my payment plan and start over because now it's $40 per year. My experience with Photobucket has been poor. I tried to upload pictures today and it kept logging me out. This is the only place I need photobucket for as every other place on the planet allows you to directly upload photos. I love this place but there is a reason why hardly anyone posts here anymore. The site desperately needs an upgrade so that it can host pictures. I would much rather give my $40 to RCT&C than photo-bucket. I've talked to many members and everyone agrees that it's a pain so no one posts. There's got to be a way to bring this place from 2010 to 2017. Somebody save this place!!!!

Its just not as simple and cheap as you think. The way the forum was set up makes things realy complicated. I for one wish there was a simple solution.

I'm sure it's not Travis. What type of money are we talking? Do you have an estimated idea? Is it possible for some of us to contribute more and make it happen? The Heavy equipment forum hosts pictures somehow and has some adds on the site but they are not pop ups and are not annoying at all. I realize that it is a huge forum compared to this but is it possible to bring in some add revenue to make enough money for an upgrade? I'm just curious as to what might be possible to save this place for those of us that love it before it's too late. This has been my favorite place to browse on the net since 2011 so I don't want it to go away!
