Is there a discussion about this? What are people using next?

Is there a way to use personal Google Photos or Drive as the host? That seems something that might be around for a while?

Any ideas?

Tattoo the dickbutt on the scalp of your messenger, so that the recipient may have a hilarious surprise when they shave the head to unveil the message.

Send your messenger to the goatman school. They won't get in trouble, "don't shoot the messenger" is a thing for a reason, and it'll be a hilarious prank!

astral wants attachments 2.0 to take care of it

sadly it requires revamping the original attachments code, plus what radium and lowtax added, and did you know? slurs for South Africans and the Irish are valid PHP variable and function names

it'll be a while

It's a non-issue for future images OP, as our community here shrinks and dies, hot linking images becomes less and less of a concern and various other sysadmins from other sites will stop caring about our small potatoes traffic

Consistently amazing that every web-o-site that was working just fine gets turned into bloated poo poo and then scrapped.

There is no copper wire inside imgur for tweakers to rip out and sell. What are they doing?

Hosting images for free makes no money and costs a lot. The point is to get a high user count to attract investors under the promise that you can convert some significant chunk of those users into paying customers. You can't, because they're only there because it's free, and so the image host cycle continues.

Just make a free account and uploaded pics should be safe. They said they're only deleting old images with no views for years that are *not* on an account.

I am just going to keep using Imgur without an account because my image posts should be as fleeting as life itself.

Keeping things forever without a license to library should be illegal.
