If you are like me, and many others whose luck has run out and got the over limit message, here's a work around to repost your previously uploaded images.
1) Go to your profile page and find your images. Usually a button on the tool bar called "Images".
2) Find the image you want to use and click on it. It should open in a separate page/window.
3) Copy the URL in the navigation bar at the top of the page. Either highlight and right-click, or click the share button and select url, link, or whatever language your system uses.
4) Come to the thread where you want to post your photo.
5) Click the little image in the tool bar at the top of the text window. It should say "drop image here".
6) At the top of that pop up window, click the tab that looks like chain "links".
7) Paste the previously copied url there.
8) Click "insert"
It won't help with new images if you're over the limit, but at least you'll be able to add images to your posts.
If you really wanted to make space and delete some of these duplicates without removing those images from subsequent posts, you could search out duplicates and edit those posts replacing the duplicate uploads with links to the original as described above.
If someone knows a better way, I'm sure we'd all love to hear it.

Something most of us are grateful for, by the way. I was wary of Imgur when I signed up and assumed someday it may repeat the Photobucket fiasco. I don't think they have any idea the disaster they created for forum users when they turned everything upside down. Over night they effectively destroyed most picture threads. Imgur has worked for me so far in my limited capacity. But I have a fraction of images at this point.
