Gfycat has been problematic to use for a while; it has moved uploads to its ****-focused sister website if it detected NSFW content, which has inadvertently ended up hitting a lot of feats. But recently things have turned more dire.
No-one has been able to upload anything to it for a few months, and around that time it got delisted from Apple's app store, over which they provided no communication. And recently, their security certificate lapsed for five days, making it so that unless someone tinkered with their browser, it would refuse to connect.
They've since fixed that and claimed that it was a temporary issue, but the other problems remain, and communication has remained minimal, so keeping clips there seems like a bad idea. There are still quite a few Gfycat links on our pages; these should be saved and reuploaded someone else as quickly as possible.
With all these issues websites have been facing recently, uploading all of these images to our wiki whenever possible, and then replacing the old links with their new URLs, is probably ideal, and this solution has also been directly recommended to me by the Fandom staff.
Here are all of our wiki-hosted Gfycat image links:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?limit=5000&offset=0&target=https://gfycat.com/
Please take note that the vast majority of them are just from now redundantly stored posts from our old wiki forum. You do not need to focus on them at all, only on the links in our regular wiki pages.
It would be very appreciated if all of the Gfycat links from blog posts are replaced by our administrators and content moderators (who will be given temporary wiki administrator rights to be able to participate in this project), as regular members are not able to edit them.
Here is where you upload images and gifs to our wiki:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Upload
The wiki-hosted images and gifs can be accessed via our forum, by linking to them like this:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/File:SupermanPrime.jpeg
If that option is not possible, due to the gifs being more than 10 Megabytes in size, please upload them to Imgur instead.
Help with quickly organising this project would also be very appreciated.
