Image Policy Change

No excuse not to just fucking use imgur.com

You click "web", copy the URL into the box, then click the upload button.
Or if it's a local image you just drag it into the window and click upload.

Voila, magic

If you are unsure copy the image and reupload it to a reputable image hosting source like tinypic, imgur, imageshack etc. If any images you hotlink trigger malware warnings because of the sites they are hosted on, you will be held accountable.

This doesn't sound like "blocking hotlinking" to me zor

I thought the idea was not to use MS's storage or bandwidth ^

Well if hohum wants to pay for the extra bandwidth, I'm not exactly against the idea. It's just a waste of resources.

Why not set up a script that will load all images to imgur.com instead? ... I'm sure one could be found/written.

I've never had a problem with imgur, just tinypic. And cool, lets do it.

In my experience, things on MS go *poof* more than anything on imgur ever has.

I'd prefer not to have the stuff I post here hosted here, if I have a choice. m2c

How the hell would that help.

Alright, I'll take your word for it.

Fucking rough six months.

Revolution Smile II suffers minor setback.

Well, yeah, the site crashed, was down for over a month, and I lost all game data I ever had and had to start over. On a scale of 1-10, at the very least that's rough enough for me to complain about it, I'd say.

Why do people keep bringing up join dates in arguments, is that the cool kids thing to do? It's fucking retarded.

And is "Revolution Smile" supposed to be "Resolution Smile?"

I personally appreciate the free service you provide. Greatly. And I appreciate your willingness to provide it in the face of ungrateful wretches like me. But I do have an opinion on the image policy, and if feel that my voicing said opinion is "shitting all over you", then I'm sorry you feel that way, but you're wrong. I just prefer my images to be hosted from where I host them from.

Perhaps the new feature could be purposefully written to exclude re-hosting of images from imgur.com and min.us?

Fair enough.
