Regarding third party hosting, it's really not needed to post on CHR, but does provide a more convenient way to post a large number of images on one post, like posting 200+ images from a car show. Where the third party host shines is if you ever take pictures of events, like a retirement gathering, baby shower, or holiday gathering and want to share a large number of images with a bunch of folks. The third party host can't be beat for convenience. I'm using SmugMug now, and my images on PhotoBucket are held hostage, but who cares....

well you can download them off of photobucket, but you will never be able to hotlink them.

if you do a download dump you get a big zip file with all the images sorted by folder named after the libraries you have on PB. after that you can do a mass delete on PB and close your account.

That only applies if you can still access your account. I've been inactive too long, so they've blocked my access, and nothing gets past their question screens.
