Any Flickr users?

It's bounced around in new homes over the years and became worse with each bounce. At an early point in its life it was the gold standard. SmugMug is a good site, I have an account there; was given a complimentary 1 yr membership when I went with the Luminar editing software, plus some other bennies.
As an aside, Verizon is pretty much finished putting in FIOS service at the street. I am tempted to go with their offer, if it comes, but changing email addresses is an obstacle I'd rather not deal with.
A good opportunity to switch to an address that isn't tied to a specific ISP. 
I see Verizon trucks all over rural Atlantic/Cumberland/Cape May counties now. They are making quite an investment down here - good for them, no other company stepped up to offer high speed broadband in my area. Still completey happy with my FIOS service.

Yeah, have been thinking of doing that for awhile. It may also be a good way to clean out the un-wanted and un-necessary
Interesting that you must actually delete your account or else the new policy will automatically apply to you.

"If you do nothing in that time, your account will simply transition to SmugMug’s Terms of Service for Flickr and Privacy Policy
If you do not consent to SmugMug’s Terms and Privacy Policy, you will need to delete your Flickr account"

I got a similar e-mail from Oath about my Yahoo account a few days ago so I went to Yahoo and deleted my account. It warned me that this would also delete my Flickr account. Good riddance! Nevertheless, I still got the same notice from Flickr that you posted above even though the account was supposed to be deleted.

Just got an email from a friend that said his Photobucket pictures are now showing up and he had not paid them anything. I wonder if this merger had anything to do with it.
This is what PB says. I've never used it, but wonder what the reaction will be from folks that changed stuff.

Haha, obviously they went a little too far with their policy about third party hosting. Looks like @enormiss was right, "The bad publicity will kill them." https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/any-photobucket-users.11994/#post-145316
But they are certainly not all back yet, for example: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/first-avenue-ruins.8376/#post-99679
I suspect that a lot of people just deleted all their pictures after the policy change, so those will never come back.

Comcast matched the Verizon offer, and no contract or cancel penalty, so I went with them.
