Photobucket has been sending me an email every few months that my account is due to be deleted. It's been at least two or three years.

I'd love them to delete my account because there's nothing in it, but apparently it's just an outright scam

yeah, i ignored them for years just to see how long they'd play their little game. I finally got sick of it, paid them for a month, downloaded everything, and then canceled/closed the account. Didn't know there was the free option... but oh well. Glad to be rid of them.

So tired of the games everyone plays to squeeze $5 out of someone.
