Steve Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 This decision fucking sucks, cos loads of images in threads on here will disappear, including in tutorial threads. Imgur has been the go-to image hosting site for many people, including me, for years, and now it's about to turn to shit. They are also changing their terms and conditions, including banning all of the following types of images and more: - Nudity or sexually explicit content Inflammatory or suggestive content, which covers a HUGE amount of stuff Hate speech, abuse, or harassment, which as usual, is vague as fuck Content that condones violence or illegal actions Gore or shock content Personal information 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkei Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 What a shame. Is there a way to transfer the images to another host and then modify all the image-links from the forum via some sort of update-statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neks Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 you would have to run a script that scans the database. creates an index of all files, upload them to another host, grab the new url and replace it based on the index. there is probably nothing readily available as it's pretty specific so it would have to be custom coded. Maybe it's time to test ChatGPT 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yeah, I was thinking about it yesterday, but I have no clue how to implement it, and I'd be scared of fucking the database up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
