Fuck you too, Tinypic.

Tinypic is no longer accepting uploads from international locations, and links are turned off. If you have content on Tinypic, you can still view the URLs and the content, but only on Tinypic. To upload, share, or link content, please go to Photobucket.com to register an account. You will need to upload your content again to your Photobucket account, but you will be able to share and link your images and videos. We're sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy Photobucket, our premier image and video site.

In case anyone was wondering about what was going on. I really shouldn't say I'm surprised, there's been some issues with that place for a while now especially with the added CAPTCHA they did, but the main reason why I uploaded to Tinypic for the majority of the pictures I post is because it's easier and faster to upload than Photobucket (which I only upload for certain things) and that they originally didn't allow the links to break. Unfortunately their policies have now changed to no longer being accessible.

Anyone got suggestions for other image hosting sites? I hear Imgur.com is better, and LJ Scrapbook is an option too, I'm not fond of Imageshack, tbh. There has to be more out there though....

Yep! They got cold feet it seems.

Huh. Weird. I wonder what they thought the initial problem was, since they don't really explain it in their original message. *scratches head* I'm confused....

Me too. Apparently some say they didn't know how to fix their links or something I don't know. Either way they're full of bullshit, their homepage currently says this:

We heard from many of our users in regards to these changes and we appreciate your feedback. Tinypic has restored linking to your images and enabled uploading. Please rest assured no content was removed from the site. We tried to notify users on Tinypic and requested they move their content to Photobucket. Unfortunately this messaging was insufficient and has taken many of our users by surprise and we apologize. Our intent was to begin combining some of the best features of Tinypic and Photobucket, thereby offering users a better experience. Any changes in the future will be better communicated. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Well that's...interesting? lol, I don't even know what to make of it honestly. At least they were better at quickly responding unlike the LiveJournal business here, that's for sure.
