Nearly all of my pics (10,000s) posted the past ten years were stored on ImageBam. It will be impossible to reupload all of them. RIP IB, it was fun while it lasted. Request to the Mod staff: Please don't remove dead posts for the next few months. Otherwise it would be impossible to reupload lost pics to an alternative image host - if we ever find a similar (previously) reliable one .

I have posted a notice concerning this as you can see. We will be leaving posts in place for the foreseeable future so that members who are able to reup have the opportunity to do so.
We have no recommendations on possible replacements for these pichosts at this time. If we can come up with something, we will, of course, try to inform members of this asap. Sorry but we have been caught off guard by this issue just like everyone else as we had no advance warning either. FYI to all concerned. Forums such as VEF cannot have any direct involvement with any sort of content hosting service and we will continue to have this stance due to the potential of serious legal issues occurring that could result in the forum being shut down. Any suggestions that VEF could set up a service to even host content temporarily until a viable solution is found cannot be considered at all. Thanks for your cooperation.

Has anybody considered this as a hoax and contacted Imagebam?

Where to next?
Hate to say it but
Anywhere the large set big size posters are not going that doesnt show up as **** or perform woefully - imgtiger for example , pimpandhost still blocked about 6 countries etc Imagebam & Imgbox were allowing up to 10MB a file last time i looked Imagevenue is about 3MB (requires adobe flash - some browsers like firefox have it permanently disabled as i just found out) Apart from the hack they've been solid for a long long time Their gallery set-up is something you get used to 2004-2017 http://imagevenue.com/ 2004-2017 The adult half of postimage .org 2004-2017 - maybe not - on the non-adult side postimage they say their struggling with just ad revenue and cant find anyone to process premium options https://pixxxels.cc/ Tested above host and came across some bad news about their financial state http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...postcount=2144 For obscure or small this host might be useful given it says active images (several months) are good for life - It hints at termination of account if dmca notices so no full sets from well known sites. - i've seen a few using it here http://imageupper.com/tos.shtml PS We have 3 weeks - i'd suggest rather than members go on and on about how bad it is Downloaders - save what you value highly and dont rely on uploaders to restore them once their dead.Download managers like image host grabber and the like can catch an entire thread in very quick time even 1 post at a time. Uploaders - Take an inventory of what you've posted using the 2 hosts gallery format The gallery format on imagebam using screenshots will be far more valuable a blueprint than the vef search engine of googles domain search Windows 7 has a snipping tool or software like light lightshot as a standalone or firefox browser extension does something similar Last - dont panic or fret - come 30.6.17 stuff will disapear but thats nothing new Its happened in the past on numerous occasions with filehost dieing (freeimagehost.eu 2007) , VEF cluster crashses , occasional hacks , mis-firing host inaccessible P& h Imagebam offline for 6 weeks - thats before you get to the filehost debacles Typically it isnt just those who uploaded the content first that end up re-upping it In the end it is only erotica not life and death PPS - torrent freak story says their closing for legal issues that dates back to a court case reported in 11/2016 - not unsustainable usage Hosting Companies Dragged into Piracy Lawsuit Alongside Cloudflare By Andy on November 26, 2016 17 sites are listed (4 are already banned on VEF) posted in Imagebam closing on 30th June by WhitenUp! http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...4&postcount=19 Last edited by buttsie; June 10th, 2017 at 05:44 AM..

I'll use pimpandhost for new posts now. Does it work the same as Imagebam? Can you create galleries?

For instance: If I could programm a good script and had enough of NAS space I could easily go through all threads and dump all bam images and then give Mods or selected members access to my filestorage. VEF couldn't even actually block it, even if they wanted to. Only IP or clientname and so on - but this can be also changed on the clientside. Getting a backup of those pics should still be a considered option. They can be treated as private. And it could be later discussed how you utilize this data in way that doesn't cause legal problems. But rare stuff would be saved. So there might be somebody here who has the ressouces for it. If VEF condones it - good. If VEF does not - doesn't really matter. At least you can't blame VEF. The option still exists. It is technically not very complicated. So discussing is IMO helpful as there might be some members who could do this.

I haven't tested the gallery side of things yet, but it allowed me to upload images into galleries. A couple of examples: |

So I guess I will switch to Imagevenue. Does anyone know how to configure IV so that it loads 5 images across (for example 20 images uploads to a block with 4 columns with rows 5 images across)?
I just posted an IV post and it defaulted to a block with 3 images across which is a waste of VEF forum space. Thanks I hope this helps others. I am still kind of in shock thinking about all the thousands of imagebam posts that I will have to re host (at least I backed them all up). It's going to take a hell of a long time to re up the posts. I don't suppose that there is a global way that the Mods could replace all imagebam posts with imagevenue |
