Online image sharing community Imgur notified users of a potential data breach which occurred in 2014 which affected 1.7 million accounts. Imgur said that email addresses and passwords might have been compromised. The company said that it got an email on November 23 by a security researcher and said that he had data that included information of Imgur users.
“Our Chief Operating Officer received the email late night on November 23rd and immediately corresponded with the researcher to learn more about the potential breach. He simultaneously notified Imgur’s Founder/CEO and Vice President of Engineering. Our Vice President of Engineering then arranged to securely receive the data from the researcher and began working to validate that the data belonged to Imgur users,” Imgur said in the blog post.

This is why I use and donate to community-supported file/image hosts like mixtape.moe, catbox.moe, kek.gg, vgy.me, ect. and you should too.

It doesn't even require an account to use. Who makes accounts on websites when it isn't required?

catbox is non-free, isn't it?
Or at least it does not have transparency and a js-free page.

'Use' is one thing, but donate???

Not to be an apologist or whatever, but the imgur leak wasn't that bad, in part because imgur required very little information from their users--still probably more than they ought to--but it's not as catastrophic as, say, a the LinkedIn leak.

Let's put it this way, would you rather that you voluntarily support the projects that you appreciate at your own discretion, or have you yourself be sold without you consent nor your knowing?

I rather support ones that know how to spend money, honestly.
Who wants their shitty pictures stored forever? It's a real waste of storage.

They are gratis (free) to use, donations are purely voluntary.

I hadn't uploaded anything to Imgur in years, but I do remember the last time that I did, it never required me to register to upload an image, and possibly the same for uploading entire albums. I think the registration only made it easier to manage your uploads, IIRC.

Ah, is that what he meant? I've been so far down the rabbit whole I automatically interpreted "not free" as his realizing that even monetarily free services have deeper costs that compromise personal freedom to embrace. Perhaps his post came of as more incoherent because he was too scared of saying "stopped reading here" for fear of having a dismissive opinion dismissed as dismissive.

i fucking hate it when i read some old posts and those retards used imgshack or photobucket or some other dumb shit to upload their files

I know what you mean. Horribly annoying, but that's the point of imageboards, isn't it? The tradeoff for guaranteed image hosting is that threads die eventually.

To be fair, there weren't any good alternatives in those times.

What difference does it make? Every image host eventually deletes its images or itself, that's why you need to archive things personally onto a storage device you control physically. I swear, kids these days seem to have never heard of a hard drive and think they can just stream everything from "the cloud" forever. Um, no, server space costs money so nothing lasts forever on "the cloud". Also, the cloud is obviously a Kabbalistic concept that is more sinister than you may think..

Do you archive entire threads, too? No? I don't think you understand the point of that discussion.

It was rhetorical, you mongoloid. Go back and read the first post in the discussion and think about what that means.

My view was, and remains, that people hate to find old forum posts using imageshack etc image hosting because those links are usually dead. That is because they are old companies. Once this newer crop of image hosts have been around long enough posts linking to them will also be dead. Every time you see a dead image, it is a reminder that "the cloud" is not your messiah and will not save you.

Dumbass millennial kids worship """""the cloud""""" like total tools. It ridiculous.

They're complaining about links that are at least eight or nine years old. You'd be hard pressed to find any link of that age still being valid. Link rot is not a new problem, thought entities on the Internet have at least become more stable than in the past.

Lots of people archived entire boards back when /prog/scrape was in vogue.

Oh, for the love of God, how can you fucking dumbasses miss the point so badly? I was trying to be polite, not question your intelligence. I encouraged you to go back to read the post that started the discussion to make you realize that it was hardly even about archival, and yet you're still going on and on about this stupid narrative? And why? To what end? To convince me? Of what, something I'm already fully aware of? Or to stroke your ego? I guess since you already know what a rhetorical question is, I should think you already know what the answer to that one is. Good job. You're certified oldfags. You've proven the immense length and girth of your epeen to myself, a random stranger on the Internet, and I do confirm that it is of excellent size, so congratulations. Congratulations on your epeen, and congratulations on winning the argument. You must be so proud of yourself.

Back up a bit? What was the original rhetorical question that was at issue?

Name: Anonymous 2017-12-06 6:58

Found the allegedly rhetorical questions:
Do you archive entire threads, too? No?
Upon seeing these so-called rhetorical questions, another question is begged: How are either of those questions rhetorical when the second question is, wholly, an attempt to confirm the answer that might be given to the first question?
