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.

Dude, that's not entirely fair. This is sure the first I've heard of it.

If there were a bunch of people in this community who couldn't view images before because they weren't viewable outside North America, they should have spoken up sooner.

They started blocking Argentina and continued with other Latinoamerican countries.

We did talk about this and made several posts on our journals but we didn't complain much here or on other English sites because sadly Latinoamericans aren't taken into account outside the spanish-speaking fandom.

And we are too used to that so we just use proxies not matter how slow they're instead of talking while knowing very few people care.

Basically.

An anon commented on it when they blocked Argentina and nobody really cared.

Sorry, it is true. Nobody gives a shit about Argentina.
