I'm looking at this now. Short term I'll pay a couple months subscription. Longer term, eh, I'll see. Sanctuary should be fixed soonish.

I wouldn't pay more than for just one month if that if I were you. Although it might be worth 40 bucks one time to be able to download my images ad-free (which you can still do w/o paying but there are a TRILLION ads to deal with! >.<)

Look for promotion codes to get a discount first though, I know I have seen them when I looked into it last week. I just did a search on 'photobucket' 'promotions' 'discounts' 'coupon codes' (without the ' and ' lol)

Pretty sure 90% of us are moving to imugr.

I am using imageshack.. it is a paid account but only 24.00 for the year. 2.00 a month.

I have used Imgur, but after a period of time.. I have had tiles go missing.

I've always used imgur.

I still have the first banner I ever posted there, too, so I'm not sure what would've caused images to go missing. I post everything into my own gallery, though, not to the public gallery. That may be a part of the issue? I'm not sure. From five years ago. I also use OneDrive for a backup. Only problem is, mine's full and I have to pay to use any more space. >.<

Curiously, what are people's rationale for their no vote on the poll?

Do you really think it's a part of a red square ownership to continue to pay a perpetual per annum outgoing?

Initial investment: Approx $150-300
Investment to have abodes decorated: $50-$150
PA payment to host images; $24-59

I'm not sure I'm willing to continue an ongoing payment just so Davids game continues to look pretty. This may be a personal thing, but I've absolutely refused in the past to play any game which expects a monthly subscription (been there, got burnt, won't do it). This is different in how it has come about but it poses the same expectation and I'm finding myself disliking the ongoing monetary obligation implied.

I'm ruminating on it, but I am curious about others' rationale.

Discussion thread is in Game Discussion - http://www.mooncalfstudios.com/pathofth ... 04&t=29300

Basic summary - No votes due to the potential to add lag to the game and put more work on David. And the availability of free photo hosts like imgur.
