Tinypic shutting down :(

It's really happening:

http://tinypic.com/

Sucks. I really liked it. Quick, no need to register...

They're connected to photobucket in some way, right? No wonder they're shutting down, then... 🙁

Good I hate that site. Always get a bunch of sh1t when I open it. Why everyone doesn’t use imgur is beyond me

Leo, you're the only person on this site without an adblock.

Get one. It takes 5 seconds.

Even with adblock, I get a phuck ton of pop ups telling me my computer is shutting down when I go to tinypic.

Your adblock must be as infertile as your balls, then...

Switch to adblock plus.

You guys wouldn't last a single second on... lesser known... websites.

I used to use adblock, then adblock, then ublock origin, because it's by far the best one.

Ublock is fast. Reliable? Not sure.

Adblock Plus is my #1 atm.

But when I want to go hunting for some "rare" material (like Pr's solo masturbation camshows) even a combination of all adblockers don't do too much good.

No doubt. I remember motherless used to be insanely difficult to navigate.

Sadly, when it became easier to navigate, its content also got far more boring.

Heh, haven't even thought of that. You're right. Motherless these days is nothing special.

Postimg is a good substitute if not better. and maybe turboimagehost if you don't mind getting random dating adverts.

No, postimg f*cked up a lot in recent years. Can't agree with you here.

Turbo is fine, yeah. I have an account there. Their site goes down occasionally, though.

Strange I've never had problems with Postimg, but turboimg I have now. Links also die a lot quicker, think I'll use imgure unless there's another better hosting site.

Grandpa, I told you not to delete the adblocks I get for you. Smh

First, their transition from .org to .cc damaged countless links.

They are still online, but it takes time to edit them to make them work right.

Postimg started really great... now their homepage doesn't even show up properly on some browsers.

"Die" on their own or get reported and taken down, which one you mean?

I don't recall having such trouble, but I might need to check my gallery again.

Just vanishing over time. Hasn't happened to that many images but that and the annoying pop ups seal it for me. Would rather not need to close a tab after trying to zoom into a scan each time. The site really hates me haha.

It was a pretty good sight when it had shit no one else did, but now it's just boring.

So... basically, like imageshack. They were awesome, but also known for some random pics going missing over time.

Ads and pop-ups are annoying indeed. Even though I think they could be dealt with... either via a solid combo of adblockers or a premium anti-malware/anti-virus program.

I've triedso many adblockers they mainly work but not for turboimagehost. I'm to stingy to pay for an antivirus. I did install Malwarebytes Premium but what I plant o do when the trial runs out is use revouninstaller to get rid of all its registry information so I can start the premium trial again.
