well shit, i kinda just realized an enormous amount of images on this forum are hosted on imgur and they announced recently that theyre going to purge everything next month.
im not looking forward to backing it all up and updating the links to all these images.

I saw them wiping pics multiple times actually. Results are best seen on old pages in "post your textures" threads

Their app blows, and you can't use the desktop version on the phone. |

Everything I posted was with imgur. That's a bummer.

When is it gonna be purged? I gotta backup everything I'm too lazy I so I need a date so can do it 10 minutes before the purge (and probably only lose half the images).

May 25th ty bro, appreciate the response, there's so much I'm going to lose.. tbh and it's gonna be sad as heck when it happens.. If only they purged the political posts on it instead.. you know if you make one dissenting comment on those you get almost like an automated 200+ dislikes that automatically shadow bans you. |

didn't know imgur had shadow bans. What could such a ban possibly affect? lol

Well in case everything gets blown away, here's something funny while it lasts. Back when I posted on Zandronum forums about various AvPvT projects including DBP48 last July, the topic got quickly flamed by idiots and then locked. So about five months later in December, I changed the largest image in my original post by editing it on imgur without even logging into Zandronum forums. Obviously you can't edit a locked post anyway (at least not normally, ha). It's a little somewhat cleaner tribute to Kontra Kommando's exit from there. I wonder if anyone noticed. Maybe just very recently, as I don't think it said [Final] in the topic when I last looked a week or two ago. I still haven't logged in there since last July, ha. zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=10679 |

I have a lot of old stuff too posted all around various messageboards. Well.. I wonder what happens if services die, even bigger more established ones you'd never thought will ever die.
Meanwhile, it's tricky if big game services like Steam, GOG or other ever died. I guess there might a preservation culture trying to make your account still matter. There was a thing with the Ouya console, heard some made an unofficial store where you can get all that stuff or play the ones you already own.

Another once loved business subscribes to enshittification. There's a downthemall plugin for firefox (i use it sometimes to download midis). And even stock firefox lets user save the media from the page. Can't show now, maybe later |

Yeah how dare they not store our pictures till the end of time for free. What a bunch of assholes, smh! Thanks Mr. Gotcha. The world would be a better place if everything quietly got absorbed into shitty business practices and we just sit back and accept it as our natural fate, huh? Imgur built up their community on the promise of a free useful service. If they were honest about their intentions from the beginning, imgur would not have a community that investors could extort revenue from. There are a lot of great things you can get on the internet for free but enshittification is a common ruse with many websites that offer something useful over the internet for free and it's growing in popularity. If I was feeling particularly slimy towards everyone here, I could do the same to doomer boards by making everyone pay monthly subscription fees for your accounts or to download the projects, but it would only make me a few bucks and quickly drive everyone away.  |

The difference is that Imgur (presumably) owns a bunch of servers and a bunch of hard drives that all cost money to keep online, also several employees thar expect a salary every month, while not making any because the service is free obviously. Charity is nice but you gotta eat something as well. Hosting people's shit for free is the shitty business practice here, not the opposite.
Also, if you actually owned doomer boards (the servers and stuff, which afaik you don't) and had any running costs, I'd gladly pay a few bucks per year. The proper analogy right now would be ProBoards.
It would be really nice if everything in the world was free, but it neither is nor it can ever be.

It would be really nice if everything in the world was free Everything is free as long as you dont get caught. I have 27 ducks in my house, all for free. I should probably get more awesome free stuff other than ducks. I'm a shitty criminal. And actually I have 18 and a half ducks in my house. Who knew ducks will resort to cannibalism if you dont feed them. Maybe I should feed them tho... But then again it is a self-solving problem. Get too many ducks -> Can't take care of them -> ducks resort to cannibalism -> Now I dont have too many ducks and the survivng ducks are taken care off -> I can get more free ducks. Seems like a win/win to me. And while its shit for the users of imgur to lose all their pictures, I always hated the site because it is supposed to pronounced image-er, which is fucking retarded, instead of im-gur, how it is spelled. Fucking losers. Hope they get eaten by ducks. Fucking image-er. |
