RATDAT3 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Why doesnt Ratsun implement their own picture uploader? I've been using Photobucket for years--even through the various changes, and have always thought this. I have even copied and pasted pictures in various forums here. Sometimes works, sometime not. With all the photo hosting sites, if you delete a picture or the link gets jacked, you lose the picture on here. Craigslist is a simple page and they have an uploader......cant be that hard. (although I'm not an expert by any means) 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Because it takes a lot of bandwidth to host pictures. Think of how many pictures people post daily. All that would need space and space costs money. For a free site that has no ads and never asks for a dime, it's a little much. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah, but CL is free and no ads......... Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah, but CL is free and no ads......... Actually it is not free. Try posting a job in any major city.. This is one of the many things craigslist charges for. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 @TristinGrind--what ever happened about those 411's? Didnt work out :( Wasnt there a fund raiser or donation on here........ Yeah you can totally donate to Ratsun. Im just saying that they never ask for money. There are no ads, no banners, they dont push asking to donate, there are not yearly donation drives... if you want to, cool. If you dont want to, whatever. Photo storage takes up tons of space. Shit aint cheap. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I for one post pictures other places than here. I also like keeping all my photos together online in one place for personal referencing. What happens if ratsun goes down? There goes all your pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 It would waste serious space, and what I see at other websites that have an uploader is that it rarely gets utilized by people on that website. They all just keep using Photobucket. Quote Link to comment
