and here's why:
The PhotoBucket blog post at http://blog.photobucket.com/ says the reason many people cannot access their website is because two Tier 1 providers got into a feud and cut off traffic to each other's network. It says, "Photobucket has acquired additional equipment and another provider in order to help route traffic that was unable to resolve photobucket.com. Just as we started to make the changes on our end, we got word that Cogent and Level 3 had begun to pass traffic between the networks again. It was an unfortunate situation that affected thousands of companies and millions of internet users." The owner said today, "We are working out a resolution on our end, as its out of our direct control. Things should be looking back to normal."
I'm one of those people :roll:
