anybody know why postimage.org would be down?

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/postimg.org

what, did photofuckit buy them out? I noticed my MFMLounge image was missing from my sig line, no idea how long it has been gone as I have been crazy busy for the last few weeks. damn it.

edit - finally got it to load. there is a message:


postimg.ORG domain is locked by Registry, no prior notice.
While we hope to resolve the issue, we chose postimg.CC as our new home.
Please update codes embedded in your websites.


edit again - ah that seemed to work, now where else have I posted images? sigh

And it took me to a site with a lot of borderline "dirty" pictures. I got the impression that images like those were the reason the postimage site was locked.

Annoying, to say the least. Luckily, I haven't used any other hosting sites.

I know what you were doing

just kidding, thanks for the info. what hosting site are you using these days? after what photofuckit pulled I am almost afraid to post pictures any more. the worst is what they did to almost all of MFM's history here. I will never forgive them. fuckers!

I'm still using postimage for my 3rd party hosting. Until this little incident, there haven't been any problems.

I will NEVER use photobucket again. Especially at $400/year!
