This change is going to be implemented this weekend. In order for
your images to work, if you have a free account, it must be brought to
"paid" status. We understand that some of you are not interested in
upgrading your accounts, in which case you can bulk download your
images by using our Skypath desktop application that can be downloaded
for Mac or Windows here: https://imageshack.us/pages/skypath

For those people who are still considering to upgrade, we are now
offering deeply discounted yearly subscription of only $18.99/year,
thats less than $2/month. To take advantage of this offer, and to
bring your free ImageShack account to "paid" status, please follow
this link (while being logged in to your account):
https://imageshack.com/my/images?sub=1

We are not planning to remove or delete any images from your
imageshack.com account, even if your account remains free until
January 31st, of 2016, so you have ample time to download your images.

Thank you,

ImageShack Team



I expect a lot of images to disappear.

ahahahaha

and with a nice choice of free and decent image hosts out there, this is hilarious

imageshack was a piece of dog shit smeared all over a moldy wall for like a decade now, anyway

I expect them to be bought out and/or shut down within the next year.

I didn't realise I'd call it so close to it.

That's just...haha. Guess that automatically made our choice for us.

Who knows when the 'good' image hosts like imgur will start sucking too?


It's like free web hosts really. When they're all new, they're nice and cool, then as time passes, their servers get slower and/or they remove features, and sometimes they outright stop providing free services (hi cjb.net).

Except free web hosts have shorter lifespans.


My board was hosted on one of those hosts at some point. Until the day where they decided to shut it down because they didn't like what was in the databases.

There's a reason I only ever use my rustedlogic account when uploading images. Even if DreamHost somehow kicks the bucket, we can just move everything to a new host and keep the existing URLs.

As long as bandwidth usage isn't a concern, that works.

Funny fact, bandwidth usage is one of Imgur's few current problems. It gets over capacity somewhat oftenly...so there's that. I mean, I guess bandwidth is expected to be a problem, but I'm worried it'll get worse as time passes, since they'll probably get more users. It really is a matter of time...ugh. I guess it's good enough for now at least.

Imgur is usually what I go with, but sometimes I accidentally click on the front page and it's a gigantic eyesore.
