All images linking to crapobucket have been replaced with this garish "fuck you" sign.

As of June 28, 2017, terms of service has changed, without advance notice, and crapobucket has broken tons of images on the Internet for those who didn't pay for a """premium""" crapobucket account. It's not even the first tier """premium""" account. How much is this ideal account? Check below, I highlighted for emphasis.

Types of Accounts, Pricing and Limits

Visiting : There is no cost to visit the Site or to register as a Member.
Free account : Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a “Paying Member” (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account. You can upgrade to a Plus account at any time.
Ad-free Account : The Ad-free Account offers Members the ability to use the Site without seeing any third party banner advertisements when logged into your Ad-free Account (note, viewers of your images within crapobucket will see ads unless they, too, have Plus accounts and you will continue to see crapobucket offers and announcements). This account level is available for $2.49 / month, payable by the Member on a monthly recurring basis.
Plus Account : The Plus Account offers several paid options that may give the Paying Member more storage, bandwidth, 3rd party image hosting, image linking and/or other services as outlined below. Once and during such period of time in which you subscribe to and pay for a Plus Account, we will consider you a "Paying Member." Please note that all Plus Account subscriptions are billed annually at the commencement of the service. crapobucket may also offer a monthly billing option for its Plus Accounts (see terms and restrictions, below).

Available Plus Account Plans : crapobucket offers the following Plus Account Plans:

o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.

Their greedy little asses decided that image linking should be tied this """"premium"""" plus account. And the minimum price for image linking is a $100/year. WTF?? For most users of crapobucket, they qualify as third party image hosting (embedding an image on any site outside of crapobucket, like a forum) they need to subscribe to crapobucket Plus 500 subscription, which is forty bucks per month and a whopping 400 dollars a year. 400 DOLLARS. This is insane! Who has that kind of money to waste to host images? This really pisses me off even if crapobucket was headed to shit anyway (their website sucks and always takes an eternity to load because it's bloated beyond belief) because they thought imageshit is some role model and decided to follow imageshit so hard, their faces are a mile deep in imageshit's ass.

crapobucket needs and thoroughly deserves a censor on this forum. Greedy bastards. I'm sure one day, other image hosts like imgur or tinypic are going to fall into this greedy asshattery.

Fotofuckit.
