Read the site's policy on photo sharing and delete that photo from Photobucket. Your statement that "Shorpy does not allow hotlinking" is simply incorrect when the site clearly states:
Non-Commercial Use

For private, non-commercial or non-marketing purposes you can use selected, small (512 pixels wide) images from Shorpy. You may not recreate the entire site, sections, collections or galleries on your server or in any publication. If you use an image from Shorpy be sure to include a link back to the original post or the full-size version of the image on Shorpy. Do not add Shorpy photos to Flickr or other photo sharing sites.
Emphasis added for the critical thinkers here. Given statement and the fact that the website does not block direct linking to the image there would seem to be no prohibition on using their smaller image as a thumbnail for a link to the page with the larger image. OTOH, your placement of the image on Photobucket because you suck at the internet is a clear violation of the website's policy on the distribution of its material. Thus to both deliver on your unfulfilled promise of gloriously high resolution images and to not violate the webmaster's policy, your post should have been:

Large file, click thumbnail:


Gotham Underground: 1904

And so on...


This way the thumbnail is of a useful size, you're linking directly to the high resolution shot you claimed and failed to deliver on, and you're not violating the site's policies on sharing images by placing it on a third party photo sharing website.
