Figured this would be useful information for some of you. ImgBox, an image hosting site, is apparently shutting down on the 30th of June, and giving everyone until that time to save their stuff and re-upload it somewhere else.
I thought this may be important to some of you who, like myself, use the site to host most of the images we use here.
Sadly, contrary to popular belief, things on the internet are often of a very transitory nature. And the companies you entrust with your valuable content often have no plans to preserve it or even make it easy to retrieve in the event of their demise. Look up Jason Scott of the Internet Archive's videos on YouTube for more info on that phenomenon.
I wish everyone who is effected luck in finding a new place to host their images; I myself am moving my stuff to a place called ImgBB. However, let me know what you folks find and/or prefer!
