I didn't realize that there was a limit when I joined the PhotoBucket as well as not knowing that it would be viewed so much. The problem is that when the forum pages load on each persons computer, it takes part of that bandwidth. I am looking for another photo sharing site or will need to wait till another 14 days till the month resets and then limit the amount of pictures to one a day. I am trying another way, so the shots should start appearing again. Sorry for this again as I did not know about this limit.
instead of using IMG codes, just use URL's to avoid bandwith use. This way the images will only be loaded when clicked.

I don't see any way at all that this site gets that kind of traffic. Rob's pics are clearly being shared on other sites as well, either by him, or by people here that copy his pics.

I think between the images being embedded into the forum (and called every time someone opened the forum) as well as them on other multi sites caused this. It is no big deal as there was a work around and all s good again. I looked at the counts and some of the pictures were viewed over 1,000 a day. Not sure what you meant by negativity or who that was directed at so I cannot comment on that.
I thought if they had a watermark, plus I posted his name, plus I added the link to this thread with the source with the all the pictures that it would be ok. Basically I just posted one of his photos and said to see more of his photos click this link and it directs to this thread on SFGAm World. I will have them removed right away.

^Just because you gave a music artist credit in a youtube video, doesn't make it right. Youtube would still remove it. This is the same exact thing. ASK FIRST, THEN POST & CREDIT THE CREATOR/AUTHOR.

Music and videos are different than photos and quotes. I've taken multiple classes that have lessons on copyrights and all of them say if you give them full credit it's ok. However, if the author or photographer still asks for them to be removed you have to do so. It isn't illegal to take photos, quotes, or stories as long as you have a source posted with it.

I don't see what's so wrong with sharing the photos! He said he gave rob credit so stop making this a big deal. Now if rob said no, Don't share my pictures then that's another thing. And until he does just leave it alone! Also pictures spread on the Internet VERY fast I saw some on his pictures on TPR, facebook and all American thrills now I'm sure not ALL of them asked to use them!
Photos, like art, are protected by copyright. You don't "share" a professional photographers work do you? But it's ok to "share" photos from others you don't know personally?
If Rob wanted his pictures on Coaster-Net, he would have posted them there. K? Thanks. Bye.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
It was my misunderstanding of the copyright laws so I removed them. I apologize to Rob. I was taught that it was ok as long as it wasn't a magazine or they strictly stated it couldn't be used without permission. It wasn't my intention to use them illegally but I forgot photos are officially included in media copyrights which have actually changed over the years and I did wrongly use them. Not on purpose of course.
I hope you get some more shots soon as I'm anxious to see the Immelmann completed this coming week!

goku you need to relax lol all hostile over something that has nothing to do with you let rob and ttd handle it lol... try helping instead of being so rude and abrasive... the guy apologized then you give him a k thanks bye like he isnt good enough to be on the same forum as you lol
on another note x-flight is looking damn good!!! thanks for the pics rob!
Not being hostile, and I'm not Pro-SOPA, I don't support piracy, but I'm against the fact it would cripple social sites like twitter, youtube, and facebook. At least ttd rox understands the point I was trying to get across in a logical reply. You kids are just insulting me because you think it's funny.
Trust me, I've seen my content on youtube taken and re-uploaded, and it REALLY gets under my skin. This is why I watermark everything now, even though people hate it.
And Cole....ah, screw it, you're not worth my time.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
If you want to use my pictures, I just ask that you ask as a courtesy so that I know where they are being used and you must leave my copyright on my photos.
I take the pictures and am glad that others are enjoying them...so let's leave it at that. I am not mad or anything...so let's put this situation/issue to rest And focus on the great addition to the park in 2012!
^^Just to let you know, I never took off your watermark. I do appreciate all the photos you put on here.
I'm sure the Immelmann is going to look great once completed. I think I might head over there in the next month to see how red it is since I can't wait until it opens!

I was not stating that you or anyone else removed the watermark, I was just making it clear to any who uses the pictures to make sure they let me know if they use them as well as to leave the watermark in tacked so we can stay focused and everyone know where I stand on this issue.
