I dislike being the bearer of bad news, but Imgur's new terms of service dropped:
While the implications of this for internet preservation as a whole are disastrous as is, it is important to remember that many scans used here - both on wiki profiles, and on this forum - are direct Imgur links. As most users do not have an Imgur account, and as many of these scans have been circulating for months or years, it is reasonable to assume that many of them will be deleted starting May 15th. I would like this thread to focus on the discussion of a possible alternative, as well as a place to identify important threads and profiles that use Imgur links. Also, please do not discuss the NSFW ban, as while it's still important in and of itself, it isn't relevant to this wiki and I know people here will absolutely not behave if given the opportunity to talk about ****.
Apologies for making an unapproved announcement post, I just believe this issue is important enough to be brought up as it affects the vast majority of both the wiki and the forum.
