Thread: Allowed hosting sites and iGiver bug

As of June 1st 2009, members are only allowed to use the following image hosting sites:

~Imageshack
~Tiny Pic
~imagebam
~Photobucket

ANY OTHER SITES ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!!



Do not pm me or any of the staff, complaining or explaining why you think this list should be negotiable. This is the list. That's it. No other sites. This was an administrative decision and not up for discussion.

Also, please be aware that we are currently experiencing technical difficulties in the request section. Staff is unable to process your extra iGivers at the moment. Dave is aware of the problem and it will be fixed as soon as possible. Please continue to post that you are owed iGiver in the appropriate thread. As soon as the problem is fixed, the staff will credit all owed iGivers. Please be patient and do not PM us. An announcement will be made when the problem is fixed.

Edit: Anyone pm'ing a mod or admin in regards to this problem will face consequences. WE WILL TELL YOU WHEN IT'S FIXED! Please stop asking. Thank you.

I always use ImageShack, but just wondering.. Why is this restriction being put in place?

Because certain image hosting sites are not trustworthy and can conceal viruses or infostealers. That's all I can say...

Alright got it. Good enough reason for me :).

Do you think Photobucket can be put on the list?

I believe that TinyPic is part of Photobucket by the way.
Actually, it is.

Sorry, no. The listed sites are the ONLY acceptable ones. Sister sites or sites under an umbrella corporation are not allowed. This is non-negotiable.

OK, just making sure.

If I get one more pm from anyone - friend or not - complaining that they are unhappy with this list, or begging to have their favorite hosting site added to the list, I will start handing out bans. Do not push me on this.

thanks for the heads-up jenna , i want to ask some thing regarding this ,i have used photobucket for my tutorial listed below in my sigi .. i made that tutorial before this annoncement , so i wanna know that if it is ok to keep that tutorial as it is .. coz it has almost round about +30 SS & it is really difficult to arrange them again in same manner with different image hosting site becuase i used random tags for all SS .
