This is a problem that's been washing across the Internet in the past week or so; Photobucket's sprung on its users that they're no longer allowed to use the site as a third-party image host (i.e. the only thing anyone ever wanted to use it for) unless they cough up four hundred dollars, which of course nobody will. I've already had to rehost a swathe of images for various resource threads, and I'm sure I'll have to do more as soon as Photobucket catches up with the rest.
As you say, it should be possible to just reupload the images to a different host - for all I know, you may be able to upload them to ProBoards itself at this point - and reconfigure the display in the admin settings. It looks like it's easy enough to retrieve the original images by just viewing them directly through Photobucket, though there are also reports of many people's images being corrupted and no longer downloading properly.
