Question regard Imgur

[The girl who waited]

So, I am a member of an RP resource site, and a post at that site noted that Imgur, the image hosting site, has changed their TOSs to disallow forums to use their services. Is this something I need to be concerned about for my RPG?! 

Thanks!

Hi,

Absolutely. I was actually already planning on making a sticky here on support before the end of today and there will be a notice coming to all admin panels at the same time.

We no longer recommend using imgur for any image hosting in relation to your forum. Please update your images to another image host like Photobucket or min.us.

what all of them ?

goldenbeatz.uk/admin/settings/attachments you mean these ones or the ones as board images and stuff ?

why would people use it then ? 90% of people i know only use it to get the img url for forums.

No. Please read.

Any images you have hosted on Imgur (http://imgur.com/). A recent change to their TOS prohibits the use of their service on all Forum services.

From the Imgur TOS:

Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network.

Ho.ly.crap. What the heck, imgur?

I hope they don't expect those of us who have done this to go find and change all of them! I haven't personally used them a lot, but I know others who have.

Thanks everyone for your input!!! May I share some links that I have found for alternate sites?

[Craig]

Feel free to share some sites you have had good experiences with in regards to image hosting

ULTRAIMG

POSTIMG

These are two alternate sites that are FREE and the second even allows "mature" content if that's your bag...

Note: When searching for a free image hosting site this is where it is important to review their terms of service and any other conditions as well as any future options for upgrades so that you don't get stuck in a situation where you have to move your images again.

Use Photobucket if you keep it private and mature content is allowed if you keep it private before sharing. I've used it for ten years plus with no problem's  what so ever. After 10 years I am at only 3% full

Just remember that mature content, that is content not suitable for ages 13+, then it should not be posted on ProBoards.
