They've been emailing me like twice a day for almost two years to "protect my pictures". I thought they were doing it to pump their active user numbers, but this makes a lot more sense.

Same here - they finally said in a recent email how many of those pictures were at risk... 2. Just two pictures. Fuck off Photobucket.

I deleted my archive when they started sending those emails. I could see nothing good was going to result from ignoring them or giving them permission to keep it.
