Imgur to Soon Execute a Purge of NSFW and Anon images

Are you fucking kidding me?!


Godfuckingdammit.



Does this affect pictures I don't out in public galleries?

 

Fuck. It affects even hidden galleries. It's all gonna be gone.

I am literally gonna have to go download my entire gallery for this.


You just KNOW these retarded idiots will use a bot that will be indiscriminate and hit even sfw stuff.

 

What a pity.
Well, I'll go eat cookies.

 

Godammit all of my image posts here are going to be broken now. I've made far too many of them to go back and reupload them elsewhere, that would take me weeks.

The alternative I see people mentioning is imgchest. I always found it clunky to use which is why I haven't until now but its better than nothing.

 

Thanks for the heads up daddy.

Bit weird for them to do tbh, especially as they were private already. Not sure if linking the image from gelbooru or the like would work as an alternative.

 

RIP Imgur, they just had to do Order 66 on their own users.

 

lol remember when Tumblr purged its nsfw content?

rip to another has-been website I guess

 

HOLY SHIT they're already deleting stuff! Look at gonewild so many dead videos on the front page!


I absolutely need to visit my cousin as soon as possible. I need to download the whole album of images I have with his high speed internet. My home internet is too shit.



Back up your shit right the fuck now. They've already started!

 

I've been using ImgBB every now and again. It has it's issues, since a few times a simple upload that Imgur handled in seconds would take minutes only to get stuck at an arbitrary percent, and sometimes the images would get corrupted during the upload.

Still, for a lack of better alternatives, it's workable enough if annoying.

I've been keeping all the good stuff on my HD ever since Photobucket went to shit. I have literally Terrabytes of lewds and non-lewd artist galleries archived.

 

moddb.com does have an image upload option (either on profiles, groups, mods, whatever), even if it's not intended to be an image sharing site. Also it being dead enough that policing there is spotty at the best of times...

... yep, just checked there, a certain image uploaded by lolilover is still there, after 11 years!

 

Man, Reddit's going to take a huge blow from this, I'd pity them if I weren't shadow banned.

 

RIP Imgur.

You will be missed.

 

Imgur makes bank off ads.

It is most likely that the advertisers are affected by attacks of conscience* and concerned parental groups**. They have threatened to pull the plug and they have no choice but to comply.

*feeling their age and wondering how to balance the scales and go to heaven after snorting coke off their 47th hooker
**working hard to maintain an aura of purity after having an affair with the coworkers and hired help

 

Ah, so imgur turned corpo.

Bleh.

 

I don't need to upload images to a host often, but when I do, I use lensdump.com

 

>requires to make an account
Absolutely Irredeemable.

 

i believe there's also catbox.moe

 

Luckily my galleries are very very hard to construe as NSFW (all my stuff on Imgur is 3D renders of inanimate objects) so this particular image hosting apocalypse affects me rather substantially less than the last two I got caught out by, as I shouldn't even need to replace any forum links.

Dropbox killing all their hotlinks was rather nastier, and we don't talk about the Betrayal that was Photobucket.

Thanks for the headsup though.

 

This post from /r/imguralternatives/ lists some reliable hosts for both nsfw and sfw images, along with specifying details.

Main nsfw ones are;
lensdump.com/
imgchest.com/
catbox.moe/

A few others. As far as I can tell, all allow nsfw uploads. They also seem to all allow uploads without an account, although some have some limitations without one.
postimages.org/
imgbb.com/
pixhost.to/
www.imagebam.com/
imgbox.com/
freeimage.host/

 

Can we threadmark this or something?

EDIT:

Or not, since we're still in the early pages people can see this post...

 

I've personally found Imgchest's upload interface to be probably the easiest to use out of any image host I've tried, Imgur included. The only thing it's missing is an explicit "upload from URL" feature (but you can do that through the Windows file selector, so no big loss).

 

Execute Order 69!

 

It's okay so far.

This site takes FOREVER to load for me!

 

I created this thread to inform you all that on May 15th Imgur is going to ban all nsfw content.

What this means it that a lot of the images, fanart and gifs are going to be cancelled.

The NSFW General section is going to be gutted, but I reckon the other NSFW sections are going to lose a lot of content as well.

If you know any alternative sites to host our images please share under here.
