Staff has been working behind the scenes on a big project, and we’re happy to announce that we’re leaving photobucket for good!
You may have noticed that the images from photobucket are becoming increasingly unreliable. They disappear, they’re covered in watermarks, some of them are even just totally broken. Well we’ve done the work to set up a new site to host all of our images so that it never happens again!
Say hello to Kro on our shiny new host!

Beautiful, isn’t he?
Now, we realize that this is a huge change, for us and for you guys! So we’re doing everything we can to ease the transition. It’s going to be a big project, but we believe it will be totally worth it. Here’s some info to get us started.
- All pets and items (and pocketpets) with non-unique codes are already ready to go! You’ll start seeing them in the shops, etc. really soon.
- There will be a thread (link here, when we finish formatting it) where you can request your new codes. Staff will be helping users replace the old codes in their kennels, homes, etc. with the new codes to make it much easier for everyone.
- You will not be forced to change your old codes, but please be aware that you are heavily encouraged to do so because the old photobucket images may disappear some day and we have no control over that. You can keep your old codes as long as you like. We will not be deleting them.
- All official images from now on will be using the new site, whether you switch your old codes or not.
- Current Flea Market shops will continue to use their own hosts, they are not affected by this change. Except: old flea market images that are now broken will be uploaded with the rest of the images.
- Multiple staff members have access to the site, which means that even someone leaving will not affect the rest of the images or our ability to add new ones.
