Ransom demanded - Photo*uck-it!

[Hondasxs]

Seen this lately?
Long to short. Seems Photo*ucket has put a ransom notice up for all its users demanding they pay $399 to see their images. Haha!

This one website has seemed to "break the internet".
- Love how everyone uses that term now.

Thousands of websites, forums, eBay, Amazon, and other sites are left with the above image from what photo*ucket is calling a "hot link" protection in an effort gain financial stability by forcing users to upgrade to retrieve their pictures!



Well.
NOT THIS SITE, NOT HONDASXS!


Because of your donations and support helping keep this community funded we are able to say The HondaSxS Club is UNAFFECTED!
Not that we havent allowed photo*ucket links. Just we chose to purchase software to shef host them. Meaning, we bought server space to host them vs Photo*ucket hosting them.

Quick search showed 7 instances of the word photo*uckit. Most, test or direct links and 1 video.



Now. Not to say it want ever happen as I cant guarantee anything will be here tomorrow. But until then. I'm going to give it my best.

Thanks.

I have been wondering, if you wanted to make a donation to this site, how do you go about doing that? Can't afford much after purchasing the Elka Stage 5's though. HA!
