Since a HUGE number of images here are hosted on Imageshack...

If you haven't checked your account for awhile, you might want to do so soon. I logged in today to find that because I've hosted more than 500 images over the years, I have to upgrade to Premium by March 1 or lose all those images. There was no email notification, so far as I can tell. So if you might be in the same boat, check it out.

But really, that is some shady moves by ImageShack. I've used them for a lot of image hosting.

Photobucket? Tinypic?

I'll probably upgrade Imageshack simply because I don't want my entire posting history to go all red X. But it does stink that they're applying the new policy to past images and not just new ones, when they had said they wouldn't do that. You can ask them to let you download your images (which ought to be available to everyone without jumping through hoops). But that will still break any links to the Imageshack URLs.

It only applies after 500 images, but when you use it for years, it's easy to collect more.

Hey Deet! Nice to see you again!

I'm sure they're hoping the majority of their users will do the exact same thing........I'm no legal expert, but this sounds kinda shady to me......

What happens to images that were uploaded anonymously without logging in?

I wonder if there is any way to write some code to grab every image shack URL and upload it to tiny URL.

The problem I have with this is that there's no easy way to download all your pics from these guys. I stopped using them actively a LONG time ago because the site is so slow, but I have a lot of pics on that thing. Sucks that I'll have to try and go get them down.

There was something listed about contacting them to see if you can download your images. Everyone, individually? That's bonkers. I actually paid for some sort of image server service a few years ago, thinking it would be like FTP for the site as that was what the description seemed to suggest. It was only for uploading multiple images at once. I didn't use all my upload credits, and while I don't recall exactly, I think they stopped that particular service a few months later and I lost the credits I had paid for.

697 pics! Sonofabitch! Every one of them means something very special to me! Two chicks making out on three kegs. My South Park Studio jeffcat pics. Pics of a giant whale penis. Xray pics of a Coke bottle in someone's rectum. Keannu Reaves saying "whoa". Many pics of big-titted hot bartenders serving beer. My avatar and profile pic!!! Fuck you imageshack...

And even this new pic I've been waiting to use...
