As a heads up:

"I just got this message when I went on tinypic from my location in Germany.

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

Upon clicking for more information:

Tinypic International is changing. Beginning September 23rd, you will no longer be able to upload content to Tinypic and your links will be turned off. Please begin using Photobucket to upload, share and link your images and videos."

This is probably the reason so many tinypic secrets are messing up.

I use mynetimages.com but it doesn't allow NSFW stuff. This site (http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-image-hosting.php) is great to find and compare sites though.

Thanks :)

Photobucket doesn't allow NSFW either if they find it; I had some screencaps removed because they were too borderline (a Japanese TV show was slow on the draw to censor some butt nudity). So you're not losing anything.

Anon OP here

I never said that PB allows NSFW stuff..?

It'd just be a bonus if I could find a new image host that'll let me upload my crappy hentai pictures. :)

...I wasn't replying to you? I was replying to miss_yuka, whose phrasing seemed to imply that their suggested site didn't allow nsfw images whereas photobucket did, which wasn't correct in my experience.

I've had photobucket remove stuff that should have been fine. They seem to have really arbitrary rules on what constitutes a breach of TOS.

Recently I copied an image to my PB account from someone else's PB account and it got flagged as against TOS when the same image was all over the site. So, I really don't get it.
