I have an account with Imgur as well. But, as bad as Photobucket is and I have had A LOT of problems with them including catching a "Browser Stealer" on my PC laptop, Imgur is a BIGGER pain to use for posting images on places like Modelwarships. At least for me.
If you want to store images on some unknown server somewhere in the world that can disappear at any time and share with everyone like Facebook or whatever, Imgur is fine. But, it is impossible to post the large files I scan at 600 dpi on Modelwarships from Imgur. It just can't be done. Modelwarships has limits to posted images, to use Imgur I have to go through several hoops to get my image to the right "size". With all the problems with Photobucket, all I need to do is upload images to Photobucket, and select the IMG link and paste it into my posting. Photobucket automatically posts the image in a downsized size no matter what size I uploaded and it is seamless. With Imgur I have to calculate and downsize images before uploading so it can be posted via IMG. Which normally means trial and error. Imgur has crude controls and options that mostly don't work as I assume they are suppose to.
When I look at software "applications", I evaluate them as how good of a TOOL they are for me to use, not as something I need to spend three to thirty times as long to get what I'm trying to do. I want to spend my time researching and passing info I learn onto others, not playing with getting software to do something.
I avoid issues with Photobucket malware by ONLY posting from my iMac. I NEVER access Photobucket on my PC laptop. And I have kept Windows 7 on my laptop to avoid the issues that Windows 10 have with many programs.
I wish there was a better posting program than Photobucket and Imgur, but right now Photobucket is still easier to use for me ... until the next upgrade to "better serve our users" FUBR's everything.
