Imagine being in 2018 and using imgur instead of just posting to discord and linking that instead.

I just confirmed this. In firefox, go to about:config, search for network.http.sendRefererHeader and set the value to 0.

boom, everything works again.

Holy shit, it actually worked! Thanks for the help!

EDIT: With a side effect. See my other response two posts down.

Instead of refreshing, click/highlight URL and press enter. Works for me.

No getting fucked over is when a dude at the gas station asks you for $10 and a ride across town and you give it to him and he says he's gonna call you later to pay you back but he didn't call you.

You can still see the image, but you need to do a two step process:
1. Click the image link (this will open it in a new tab and will return a blank screen).
2. Refresh that new tab and this will display the image.

Nah. It's possible that someone is uploading TOS breaking images on one of the boards and Imgur noticed it and got pissed off.

Someone from the Gamefaqs management needs contact Imgur to get them to remove this block.

Probably not, unless you got modded. I doubt Imgur would notice it that quickly too.

It could be someone on a dead or private board.

They blocked direct linking attempts from Gamefaqs. Normally when you click on it, Imgur gets request to view the image, but they setup a block to reject any requests from Gamefaqs.

The images are all still there, and you can view them by right-clicking, going to "copy link location," and pasting that into your browser.

It's just links from this site that are blocked.

No they don't. The images are broken on imgur unless you do something like try to view it how they want you to first.
