This is mostly important to role-playing due to the amount of us who switched over from Photobucket to Imgur around a decade ago and used it to host many of our images. RPG has its own image hosting and you can use discord, but if you have any images still stored on Imgur that are important [and old] it may be advised to make attempts to archive them immediately if you have not done so already.

You can find their full Terms of Service here.

>Also coming here to let people know that places like ImgChest exist. A ton of CYOAs from r/makeyourchoice and the like have already been reuploaded there, sans the ones that were put their periodically by various users. So if you want an alternative it's there.

Personally, I suggest just making a separate Discord channel/server for your image uploads. Most people already have Discord anyway, so it helps to keep everything in one place.

For me personally, I've been using Postimages. It's a solid hosting site with an easy-to-navigate UI.

>For the images I really want to keep I just download them to my machine, stick them in an appropriate subfolder (or create one if it doesn't already exist), and then transfer them to a USB drive. The reason putting CYOAs on Discord isn't such a great idea is the fact that you'd need to upload a bunch of separate images for most of them, since they tend to get long. A prime example of this is the JRPG Traitor CYOA, which as you can see is quite long. As for images to use as faceclaims or maps or whatever, I just upload them here to the Guild or point directly to whatever page I originally found them on since we can't directly upload them to the site's server in a post.

>I know they have a multi-image/album-ish feature now, but still. You'd need to make a whole server and join it just to see a CYOA, which is why almost all of them are on ImgChest now. Easier for an entire subreddit of thousands and the rest of the internet to access that way.

Wait, people use imgur without an account? I didn't even know that was a thing.

You always could. I never bothered making an Imgur account myself.

Well, my images weren't deleted. I was concerned because they said they were going to have a bot look at all the hidden images and decide what needs to be deleted. But it seems like everything's okay.

*leans* Why not use the image space on here? That's not even off-grid proposing other caches. Atomic is solo, yeah, but it's not a spectrum - first you gotta represent the Underground; That's this turf here, that other stuff's in anarchy.

*flicks open a zippo off his pants leg, and returned the movement up the pants leg to get the flame* Heh, if you don't know the entertainment value of a Computer at least as a Party Junkie then now's the time to become a real Harbinger, People.

>A good reason is that the actual server is in like the hands of one guy in Mexico, and likely doesn't have a bunch of redundancies, off-site storage, or recovery systems/RAID in place. So if it goes down again, your shit's probably fucked.

>Again. Unless things have changed since then, as I have been out of the loop with what's going on with the Guild hosting wise for a bit now.

That's very bandit of you, Mr. Compatriot. I'm okay if it's eradicated, I know to harbinger only once, any more than my first and I'm like a vagabond or something - that ain't peer pressure. You people probably play with "lewd" stuff instead of camo-clothing.

EDIT: now that I thought about it you're probably reserving images to be omnuses. No traction, no enemies, but all cloak and agger.
