Update June 2023, Photobucket finally blocked access to old accounts, I no longer can find a way into my account, but I previously had copied all the photos to my computer.

It appears they did not get rid of the photo's, checking a few old post the images still show up but have the photobucket water mark added. They can still be displayed without it by right clicking on them and then opening the image in a separate tab - from that they can be copied to your computer without a water mark.

Since I could not get into photobucket to get the image link I had to find it in an old post, right click on it, click on 'open image in new tab', right click on it there and then chose 'copy image link" or just copy the address from the address bar of the tab, links show up slightly different but both work... for now. I could not get the links to work when taken from the image in the post, it had to be in a separate tab and the link copied there. This might be different on different sites, I only tried one.

.. so, if you can see an image below, photobucket still has all the old pictures.

Both of these will work to post an image -
