No point speculating
I recall the last time IB changed hosts it took many weeks of preparation and then some to bed down properly and that was without a bad server in the mix.
Personally i'll be ignoring them until we're told by someone who has some factual information straight from the Admin on IB Which says the recovery process is over Otherwise your guessing whats alive / dead Quote:
PS From what i've been checking from avery small sample through March , April & May there seems to be a cut off date Full sized - 30.3.17 and before for 2017 - Alive 31.3.17 and up to and including 12.5.17 - dead There appear to be random pics posted outside these dates in previous years that are also inaccessible Post by deezer confirms similar 30.3.17 - 12.5.17 with example from MIR http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...postcount=2342 Last edited by buttsie; October 3rd, 2017 at 02:35 AM..

I think all in all just the fact that Imagebam and Imgbox are not "closing their doors" is BIG and a real blessing, and we just need to be a little patient until they resolve their issues.

Hmmm, VEF perpetrated this Ibam/Ibox event as a test to see which members are loyal, true blue, and forum die-hards!

Just wondering, do we have some sort of press release saying they aren't actually shutting down? Was trying to upload some images today using their api....
Code:
( [rsp] => stdClass Object ( [status] => fail [error_code] => 999 [error_message] => service is shutting down - please backup your files ) )

Imagebam
If they were closing the same notice as before would be in place of the one below
The site appears to be down through the normal address (spoke too soon) Reachable via proxy anonymouse but login doesnt work database issues one would presume - looks to be widespread but intermittent http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-w....imagebam.com/ Just tested this 46 post - 6 alive using IHG Manually they come and go - sometimes dead , other times alive - pic descriptions are sometimes original other times numbers - maybe a backup is in play who knows Monica Sweetheart http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...86&postcount=3 Very unstable - patience & persistence are needed Frustration via venting never achieved anything imho current notice ImageBam is a free service with more than 10 years of history, empowering people to upload, share and enjoy images online. Hosting millions of files requires massive resources and it simply became too big for our previous hosting platform to handle. We are pleased to announce we have partnered with a new team that have extensive experience in large-scale hosting, our new gen hardware enables us to continue to provide the high standard of service that you are used to, while preparing us for many billions of files into the future.
