Imageshack is gay

[Velkontés]

So I noticed my sig picture disappeared. As I mentioned in a recent post, it's been there nearly two years, so I logged into my Imageshack account, and that was the last picture I uploaded (along with Mr Anderson at the Aces & 8s funeral. 2 years!). And of course, there was the following message:

Starting November 1st, 2015 ImageShack will be implementing a new policy that will affect image delivery for some of our users, here are those changes:

Premium* ImageShack accounts will not be affected in any way. You will continue to be able to use your ImageShack account, and all images will be served to your pages.

Any free accounts (non-premium) will no longer deliver images to any sites, blogs or forums. This change will be implemented by November 1st, 2015. If you have a free account, have images that are linked to any sites, blogs or forums and want to continue to have images delivered to those pages, please convert to premium* account here: imageshack.us/upgrade, for only $3.99/mo, you will continue to have unlimited storage and unlimited delivery of your images.

So I can't hotlink from Imageshack anymore, and it goes on to say that if I don't upgrade to a premium account by January 31st, my account will cease to exist, along with all my pics.

Who the hell is going to pay for Imageshack when Instagram is a thing that exists which many more people use, not to mention a thousand other sites? For example, V also has an Imgur account which I have used a whole two times in the last 2 years.

I'm not even upset about it, it's just more of an annoyance than anything else - some of the shit I've got on there is 8 years old, shitty drawings, Snitskyometers, screengrabs, lots of pictures of half-dressed women I have no recollection of the context of. It's no big loss in the scheme of things, but still.


In conclusion:

gay.

It's just like our dreams.

LOL @ Naitch.

Hey, I also have an Imgur account that I never use. Never had an Imageshack account but I do still have a Photobucket account which is totaly useless. Might be an idea for me to check that out because I've some ancient pictures on that site too from like 2008. Snitsky pics and stuff.
Are you able to save your shittydrawings and all that stuff, V? It would be a shame to lose those masterpieces of modern art.

Oh, I've got it all saved Mastersnit, although I doubt I can be arsed to host it all again. I just think it's ridiculous that Imageshack is saying "hey, you know that thing you can do for free on 100 other sites? Why not do it here! for money!"
