That is terrible. If somebody working for me had written it, they would be doing it over. It appears that the problem isn't using too much storage space for your pictures, but that you are using too much band width displaying them. As you said, too many hits from this site.
I am not a Photobucket user, so my interpretation and suggestions may be all wrong.
It apears that your pictures, as stored, have not been reduced. Photobucket is reducing them when they are displayed. If so, they may return to normal next month. It appears that they have some parameter (setting) you can use to limit how much the pictures are compressed (and blurred). That limits blurry pictures, but doesn't reduce the band width used untill the limit is reached. So when you reach the limit, rather than blurry pictures, you get their little marker image that says you've hit the limit.
Things that might help prevent reaching the limit:
1) They may have a parameter you can set to somewhat reduce the size of all your pictures when they are displayed.
2) Start using somewhat smaller pictures. For example, a 1024x768 picture, if reduced to 640x480, would be welll under half the original size. I haven't gone checking your pictures to see that size most of them are.
3) Use pointers to pictures rather than putting as many in-line with the post. Let others click on the link if they want to see the pictures. This reduces repeated use of bandwidth to display what someone has already seen. Their displays will also be faster.
4) Beat the restriction by splitting half your pictures into another account.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
