forum having issues displaying images from imgur

Jarstang · Jun 29, 2016

Received this response from Imgur. Since we are not getting rid of our classifieds section it looks like everyone will have to use another image hosting site or better yet, upload it directly to your post. Unfortunately it is out of our hands.

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately that forum has been blocked from hotlinking due to abuse of Imgur's terms of service (http://imgur.com/tos). Imgur's ToS prohibits using Imgur as a content delivery network, which means that website elements such as buttons, banners, avatars, frames, image libraries, etc. cannot be hosted on Imgur and served up as elements of other sites. Imgur's intended use is not as a CDN, but rather as a platform to upload, share and browse entertaining images, which is why using it to serve website elements or image libraries is not allowed.

Please also be aware, that any forum that has a section dedicated to selling, such as classified are also against the advertising portion of the TOS.

If you'd like to be unblocked, please take measures to undo the functionality that caused the terms of service breach, at which point we'd be happy to review.

Please let me know if you have any other questions; I'd be happy to help.

Best,

Isaac K.

Wow, so you would think nearly every auto forum would be blocked because who doesn't use imgur for uploads. Terrible.

I've asked that exact question, why M6G was singled out when it is allowed on other forums with classifieds. Not expecting a response.

You can upload pictures for the forum directly to the forum.

From a member perspective that is 10000% better than any image hosting site because they don't disappear when a member deletes them from the hosting site or closes the account, etc..

It's not uncommon to search for information and finding old posts that would answer your questions except the pictures are long gone because the member left/deleted/etc..

It's great that Mustang6G is so liberal about how much you can upload here. Many forums are too cheap and force you to use a hosting site.

From a pic owner perspective it's terrible. Should I decide I want to take my pics offline for any reason, I can't short of editing each post.

any update on this?

Jarstang · Jul 30, 2016

No, since we are not about to remove the classifieds section.

If it matters, according to imgur someone reported the site for TOS violation.

Wow, no idea why anyone would even bother doing that...
