Imgur has really been pushing their "social media" game recently, which is a crock of poo poo, as it was originally a simple image host designed for use with reddit. Biting off more than they can chew, I think.

How is it poo poo? You had to be slightly inconvenienced by changing how you share content hosted by them that you didn't pay for outside of their network. Image sharing has been poo poo, sporadic and a generally crappy experience for a long time since internet forums started taking off in the early 2000's. If being social and changing a few things here and there about how they hot link are the consequences for me having a free, fast, watermark free, easy to use host so they stay afloat then bring it on.

You vastly underestimate how far that will get you. Image hosting is hard to get right, largely in that bandwidth is expensive and disk I/O is easy to get wrong. I actually recently deleted my waffleimages mirror data.

I do it for my own stuff just fine. I'm not talking about a waffleimages solution, just a personal image store. Works fine as long as your image doesn't get front paged on Reddit.

Digital Ocean currently doesn't meter bandwidth. :v:

First you stabilize, then you expand. Not the other way around.

And stop redirecting direct image links to a landing page with vote buttons and poo poo. That's got to take up more bandwidth than the image itself.

Imgur's primary revenue is from ad placement. Unless you want ad driven water marks you need a landing page to display ads.

Do you know some reddit super star with deep deep pockets that can keep Imgur afloat? There's no way an image hosting site survives on just image storage with mythical free storage and bandwidth costs.

The vast majority of people using imgur aren't sharing dot whatever links. Look, you can bitch about it all you want but that's the cost of doing business. It's not dumb, it's not misguided, it's a thing they have to do to stay alive.

Wasn't that car in the Craigslist thread quite a while ago? Looks like it at least got a half-decent paint job since then.

I quite like Japanese VIP cars if only for the fact they're immaculate inside and out, they just have daft as gently caress camber. Revert that back to normal and you're good to go should you feel the need.

I imagine they're terrifying to drive though.

Exactly.


Image hosting: I was using my own gallery hosted on my domain, but my provided upgraded PHP and MySQL and broke Gallery. The pictures and database are there, it just doesn't serve the pages for some reason. I'll fix it some day when I'm not pissed off by working on other people's computers all day.
If I need to post something, I'll just use imgur, or just dump stuff into a folder on my site. The auto-generation of smaller sizes through Gallery was nice, but imgur does that, too.

Sandy Pony Donuts in Parole MD. Looks like there were a couple dozen cars there last weekend, but I got there at about 10am and there was no one there.
