Star Mario in this room you have a pile of apple pies Level: 163 Posts: 7584/9016 EXP: 56049013 Next: 438631 Since: 07-03-12 From: in a box Last post: 56 days ago Last view: 15 days ago |
So Photobucket is going down the shitter, but just pulling the plug isn't their thing. Instead, they're attemting an extremely desperate measure where you are required to pay an absurd sum ($400/y) to be able to link your images externally.
So, you are encouraged to stop using it. I updated the postfilter so we don't get their "upgrade to premium" shit all over the place, and to deter people from using it. Possible alternatives: * imgur, as long as it doesn't suck (enjoy while it lasts) * your own hosting space (you can get even a VPS at cheaper rates than Photobucket's premium crap) * our uploader, as long as you stay reasonable Thank you. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Yup, I also never had a problem with that. The cool thing is that my snipping tool allows directly uploading images to imgur so it's perfect for fast sharing I used dropbox for a while but you never know about that too. Also the space you have is limited which might result in deleting older stuff. For stuff I plan to keep public I directly upload to the board's uploader or my private server. ____________________ GitHub - YouTube - NSMBHD |

If google can stay free with their ads, why wouldn't it work with Imgur too? ____________________ Nothing to say, so jadnjkfmnjamnfjkldnajfnjkanfjdksan jsdnvj m. |

I imagine most people who use imgur have adblock anyways. And considering people like me who simply use imgur without visiting their webpage ever by using a sipping tool, they don't earn a single cent. Also webstorage is expensive. I really cannot imagine how they will be able to keep the system running like this for very long. ____________________ GitHub - YouTube - NSMBHD |

Just a FYI: Imgur is prone to block a site if it embeds images by a ton. It happened to another site I go to. ____________________ ≤!-- Am I doing this right? --≥ |

It won't be long before crapobucket, well, kicks the bucket.
This is just a quick cash grab to squeeze every last cent out of their awful image uploader. |

Unfortunately I can see Imgur being next. I've seen some weird design decisions from them recently. Not many, but I'm going to save myself some trouble now to prevent me from having to worry about it later.
I'll probably keep using it for non-important "mostly temporary anyway" images though. "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." --Ram Dass |

Imgur stopped being good when they got tired of being used as a Reddit image host and decided to implement their own comments section to steer people away from Reddit.

• SuperHackio: questions what that is <~StapleButter> the AJ7 is an automatic rifle model based on the well-known AK47 |

I actually think this is a pretty useful feature: now you don't have to make a reddit account you know you're just gonna use for a single site anyway if you don't already have one. And even if you do, it's quicker to just use the comment section. ____________________ Nothing to say, so jadnjkfmnjamnfjkldnajfnjkanfjdksan jsdnvj m. |

I can't upload images to Imgur with my Gamepad for some reason. IDK what they did with the upload button.
