Imgur's decision - did for subscribers what the charge of the light brigade did for recruiting.

Sucks everyone is having trouble with photo hosting and posting.
I fear it will happen with Flickr as well, just waiting in the inevitable

Well, it has for me. I just tried posting a joke through Flickr and got a broken link icon. I had to use the inline link feature on this site.

Hosting sites. Don't you just love em!

Changes from being free to use to subscription. Result...Dropout from a number of their users affecting sites like this by the host wiping out their pictures.
Huge watermark making pictures difficult to look at is another. Why users bother to place pictures on that particular site is beyond me !
Host sites packing up altogether and all pictures disappearing.

All in all a bit of a minefield as some sites depend on uploads from hosts only instead of being set up to accept pictures directly.

The pain is real. Still, it should turn up when they next do a FOD walk down the flight deck.

That moment you realise the PE fret now only contains bits you have already decided not to use due to their ridiculous small size.

Found this on another FB site and pinched it.
