You could pay amazon $35 a month for 100GB storage and about 70m hits per month, or 27req/s sustained for your images... At more usual numbers of a few million

  And a 2nd hand 200GB hard drive from ebay costs 5 bucks. That's not comparable though, because Photobucket offers many image related services. Maybe forum operators aren't interested any of those services and they should be using a dumb storage provider instead.

    It's not forum operators using Photobucket. It's the user of the forum.

      I wasn't really trying to compare photobucket and s3 feature wise anyway, just highlighting that the price is completely out of proportion for the cost to host and distribute those images even with a cloud provider.
