IP blocking of individuals - imagevenue
in the general imagehost thread
Quote:
Just when you think you have all the possible imagehost reactions in mind along comes their take on filehost v pirate posters Its all guess work as to when it might be triggered in the same way members on certain filehosts can never really know when their account might be closed , blocked or culled because of too many dmca notices Presumably if one were to bypass the block and continue on they'd potentially delete the content or kill the account. If being the subject of an IP block is a regular event, you may want to consider using Tor (AKA: The Onion Router) to alter your visible IP. There is even a FireFox extension to enable and disable Tor functionality at the push of a button.

due to the imagevenue hack of several years ago. All hosts have had their good , bad & indifferent periods. Thats not likely to change any time soon |
Both -bam and -box have removed their notices warning of the 30 June closure, and now seem to imply continued/resumed hosting service.:confused:
I would not recommend stopping the process of saving vef material from those hosts. Better to carry on until then, or at least until the situation becomes clearer? |

We are ongoing maintenance to improve reliability & stability, Uploads & all other site features will soon be available. Sincerely, The Team An explanation of any sort would be nice given they have removed entire galleries of content from 2017 but left the thumbs in place - older galleries 2016 back appear intact - apart from the really old ones 2008/9 which appear 50% dead going on my own account |
To be on the safe side we should continue saving pics posted on ImageBam for the time being.
BTW, on the positive side: using halvar's tool (version 1.24 of imagerescue) I'm able to notice former posts with some dead (full) images. The still existing thumbs were saved though. So it is easy to spot posts with dead images by searching for "thumb" on your HD (or wherever you saved the posts). :thumbsup: Assuming that ImageBam will be up again soon, you get the chance to edit only your own (partially dead) posts instead of rehosting the pics in all of your posts. :) Quote:

Imgbox
It looks like Imgbox Twitter account is back up.(was broken yesterday)
https://imgbox.desk.com/ their latest tweet: (8 hours ago) Guys, we're back! thank you so much for the interest and support! further information will follow shortly Unlike imagebam , imgbox galleries appear to be intact or that just might be because i have 4000+ galleries on imagebam & just 95 on imgbox |
Hallelujah !!!!
I had started replacing images with very very little enthusiasm, some I had 4 or five sites I would have had to do so |
It seems as if we've been very lucky, and won't have to spend days/weeks re-upping lots of stuff.:cool:
