Incidentally, if anyone happen to know alternatives places, it would be nice to name them.
While I'm not annoyed at you, I'm annoyed at the existence of this information and not knowing it earlier.By the way, for anyone using imgur to host, imgur is likely to delete all anonymous and NSFW images (and their bot/algorithm is likely to trigger on many pictures that aren't even NSFW). So you'll want to keep backups/download all of your images.
SOme people may also not know this, but there is an option to download EVERY imgur image your account has ever posted.
Go to SETTINGS. ANd on the bottom right, there is a "DOWNLOAD ACCOUNT IMAGES" option. This will download all of your images after a few minutes of the page zipping them. If you have A LOT Of images, best to have a very good connection. You don't want it to break midway if you've got dozens of gigabytes to download.
I can confirm having downloaded 90 gigs worth of imgur images for example. It works.
Lemme guess, you manually downloaded? Cause that sounds horrifying.While I'm not annoyed at you, I'm annoyed at the existence of this information and not knowing it earlier.

Yeah I only realized now that not everyone may be aware because of my brother.*makes wringing motions at imgur's metaphorical neck*
430 images, you goddamn hellspawn corpo sellout website...
granted, most of those I managed to download as zips, but fuck...
It isLemme guess, you manually downloaded? Cause that sounds horrifying.
And this is before getting into the problem that my goddamn short-attention prone ass never bothered to name my private galleries, so now I have a couple dozen unnamed imgur zips with duplicate tagging and I will now have to go through the absolute pain that is opening each one and identifying duplicate zips, because I was so paranoid I started to double-download my galleries!
The problem is that places did learn, specifically the banks, who learned that they have as much power as the gods themselves, and like the gods they too seek to impose their brand of moral virtue on the entirety of humanity by coercion.God damnit, photobucket all over again, it's like these places don't learn.
Not really the banks themselves, or more specifically the payment-processors. They only care about their income, it is just that they are being (succesfully) pressured by certain groups that are the moral busybodies.The problem is that places did learn, specifically the banks, who learned that they have as much power as the gods themselves, and like the gods they too seek to impose their brand of moral virtue on the entirety of humanity by coercion.
Great, but it looks like most of the users here haven't gotten the message. It's in NSFW General and not Announcements, anyway, and an announcement bar message wouldn't go amiss.
Does it? Because a quest I followed a year or two back had most of its previously-working image hotlinks broken, specifically all the ones that pointed at img2.gelbooru.com, so if the same thing happens with imgur, it's going to actually break things.As regards images posted here, QQ rehosts all hotlinked images to its own server. So images taken down by Imgur should remain visible in the quests where they're posted.
It's getting reviewed by real people at least.Fuck. It affects even hidden galleries. It's all gonna be gone.
I am literally gonna have to go download my entire gallery for this.
You just KNOW these retarded idiots will use a bot that will be indiscriminate and hit even sfw stuff.

alethiophile - is the supposed immunity to hotlink-breaking a new thing? Because I've also definitely seen hotlinks on QQ break - the Would You Hit It thread and the General QQ CYOA thread both have staggering quantities of used-to-be-working-but-now-broken hotlinks.Does it?

See https://forum.questionablequesting....ph-quest-on-hiatus.12146/page-47#post-3734190
and the images it contains.
Figured the latter was the likely culprit of the breaking I saw. Thanks for the info on the former.The immunity to hotlink breaking should have started a few years ago. I'm not sure exactly when, but it was sometime 2020 or after.
Until then, the image cache was configured to periodically refresh from the source URL (as per the default), which rather defeated the point.
All this does is just immediately download a tiny 11kb zip file. Actually Imgur won't download anything for me at all even if I try and download a single image.

Sorry. I don't know what your issue is.All this does is just immediately download a tiny 11kb zip file. Actually Imgur won't download anything for me at all even if I try and download a single image. Is anyone else having this problem right now or is it just my account that's fucked up?
