better host your images at your own image host
costs only 3$ a month on a shared hosting , use a free image script
and add infinity ads on it
you make easy 10 times more then on all these hosts , that pay per image view 1 time at 24/h

examan - your welcome at UltraIMG.

i will try your host but how long you will last if getting more traffic?
already problems with new image hosts that decide to shut down
aedes.us was good example

Lulzimg images are working again BTW=)

Just curious, why do people use new image hosts to host images? Why not just stick to tinypic or imgur or imageshack etc. ?

FYI, lulzimg is not a new image host.


@OP, there was ample time for you to change your images to another host, anyways, when you have such a massive collection, there's no way to escape this :P
Best way as someone pointed out in the thread, is to have your own personal image host.

^ imgur isnt new host it was introduced in 2008 & lulzimg was introduced in late 2010s

 

[Froomple]

yup. Imgur was introduced in 2008, but was vastly used in reddit.
Lulzimg was very popular.

is it gone for good now, meaning existing images gone. Was about to start backing up and now it redirects to another image host
