*frustrated weeping* oh, photo bucket

Argh I just need to rant a little. I wasn't exactly sure where to even write this thread but this is probably the best place for it.

Today I got online and found out that well, all of my images on photo bucket have turned into a little message that says something like "look who's popular. is this your image? get more bandwidth" Maybe I'm just an idiot but I didn't really even know what bandwidth was until I had to go to photo bucket and "read more" about it.

Now, I was using photo bucket as an image hosting site, because that's what I thought it was, but apparently if you use it for what it's for, they'll punish you by taking away all your images, because people viewed your images that you were hosting on photo bucket. I hope that my images will be back, I read that my bandwidth will reset next month, which kills me because it's only the 9th...

I'm just even more frustrated that I can't even access my images at all to retrieve them and upload them somewhere else. I read that bandwidth doesn't count when the images are viewed on photo bucket, but then why can't I actually view my images on photo bucket? All I get is that "look who's popular" image on every single picture, it's driving me nuts. So now, all of my pet profiles that I've slaved over are messed up because some of the images were hosted on photo bucket. Sigh.

I've already recovered my signature image and my user profile background image and uploaded them somewhere else, but there's no possible way I can fix up my pet profiles until my bandwidth resets. Poo.

But since I didn't really understand bandwidth before reading about it on the site, I sort of had a panic attack first thing in the morning because all my images were essentially gone. Q_Q Really how I wanted to start my day there, photo bucket.
