PSA: Popular Image Host 'abload.de' Shutting Down June 30th. Backup Your Images !

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I know a lot of people here have used it in the past, I have used it extensively for many of the images posted in the Console Screenshots threads. Will go through my posts and back them up now.

It could potentially mean a lot of classic GAF OT's will lose their images, so folks might want to find alternatives.

That’s where I was hosting my images, are there any good substitutes?

I've started using Imgur or postimage.org

Imgur is good but if the image is over 10MB or so, they start compressing it (I am not 100% sure on that but that's what i've read)

Thanks, will look into these.
I’ve tried imgur ages ago but it used to always have display issues.

Reminder:

Today is the last day for abload.de, after today all images hosted there will be deleted.

Any classic GAF OT makers who hosted images there, back up and re-host your images !

I've backed up my OT's I could find.
When they get out back up depends on the new image host.

I use the retrogames thread for info and reference, and yip, two of the images I used to use have now gone, I had no idea abload was going to go.
