BrothersGarage Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/04/hosting-site-imgur-will-remove-explicit-and-anonymous-content-next-month/ So if you've posted images without using an account for your build threads (like I have) back all your images up as they will be deleting them (and any boobie pics) Supidass idea if you ask me. Lotsa images hosted across many forums are about to get pooped on. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I feel like this is an I-told-you-so moment. There will never be an indefinite free web host. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 This stuff is why I talked Jeff in to pic upload, also one of the reasons I started doing youtube vids. 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I got a notice from PB. Deleted some questionable crap, but it doesn't surprise me. I only keep it for the picture hosting. It's handy but I can live without it. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 As for photos in forums, the future is that the forum needs to host the photos, otherwise they will eventually disappear. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Well all mine will disappear then. Quote Link to comment

sick620 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I learned my lesson I just upload straight here, much simpler. Image hosting is so 2010. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I have all my photos in my computer. Amazon keeps saying I have unlimited photo storage why don't I use it? Are you kidding???? Data storage has never been cheaper. Why would I keep my valuables in someone else's home in some other town???? Well fuck imgur then. 3 Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Lefties hijacked imgur right before the '16 election and stifled all content that didn't align with the Hillary view. It was one of the most spontaneous sites for original content up until them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Cardinal Grammeter Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 WTF??? What do they mean by "We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account I had to create a userID and PW to post my pics - does that mean I have a "user account?" WTF are they talking about??? Or is a "user account" something I have to pay for? 1 Quote Link to comment
