What are some alternatives I can use to embed pics on gamefaqs now? I've been using giphy but it's a royal PITA compared to imgtc, honestly breloom @Time might revive imgh if this doesn't resolve, but its a bit early for that. --- 7D ChessMaster of Dark Aether https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/851-dark-aether ...

That is fucked up. It might not get you anywhere but you could try making a big deal on Reddit. I've seen people get their PSN and Blizzard accounts banned for BS reasons and once they made a fuss on Reddit it got overturned.

That really sucks. I hope you get things worked out, because ImgTC was a godsend for us.
Goats posted... What are some alternatives I can use to embed pics on gamefaqs now? I've been using giphy but it's a royal PITA compared to imgtc, honestly breloom I'd recommend installing the ImageFAQs script, which allows for embedding any direct-link image from any site. It fixes the Imgur direct-linking problem and allows for direct links from Twitter and all kinds of other sites, and then you can just upload images to Imgur or some other image site while ImgTC is down. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1063-customfaqs-scripts-and-styles/75063160 --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/PBkp1fw ...

3 hours and 33 minutes since my first email to them, still zero responses. I work for a hosting provider, and tbh I would be surprised if they get around to responding to you today. The holiday season is really heavy when it comes to support tickets. It's shitty that they don't have a number to call. My advice would be to mention getting a backup from them asap in case their backups automatically roll over and possibly wipe out what's still there. --- Audio Theater: For discussion of podcasts, radio, audiobooks, and the like https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1364- ...

Now i am by NO means a lawyer, law student or ANYTHING in the vicinity of that (i probably know more about Football than law due to exposure from my mother and sister, and i dont even like the sport)
But with the similarities between youtube and imgtc (anyone can pretty much upload anything) wouldnt imgtc be protected in the same way as youtube, as in the "Safe Harbor" thing, which ive heard a small bit about? --- L.J.Gibbs: Rule 51: "Sometimes You're Wrong." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Still nothing from digitalocean, still completely locked out of everything. Since all the backups are locked as well and I don't currently have the core website files on my computer, one thing I can do is put up an image hosting script on a new server, at least that'd be able to handle new uploads until I can get all the old ones too. Let me know what you guys think.
