You can be quite sure that both hosts are used by "cash whores" (members posting to also [if not only] earn money). They actually contravene the Forum Rules:

Image Hosts:

Use a host that includes a gallery for easy browsing & downloading.
Examples:

• ImageVenue
• ImageBam
• ImageBox
  

Any posts made using an image host that does not support a gallery option are subject to removal without notice.

(Red emphasis by me.) They are tolerated by the moderator team anyway.

The stats of the different hosts makes interesting reading

The sheer number of sites who are about using hosts really puts it in perspective

You can see how used BAM & BOX are in comparison with the rest

IHG works fine for both posts, but downloading manually is a bummer or, at least for me, even impossible.

Same problem with "Imagetwist" a total nuisance which invariably leads to chaturb*te-spam. No dl. Why this is admitted at all?

Just FYI on this, imagebam has the original filename stored, but it's not showing it to the general user anymore. I use the API to post images and it keeps the filename stored somewhere in their database. Below is an example image information snippit. I posted this image a couple weeks ago and just queried to get it's info.

During my last few tries imgbb seriously compressed my files.

Quick question, has anyone run into a gallery limit at pixhost? Imagebam has a 500 image limit per gallery, and I did a test with pixhost with over 800 image set from bangbros and no errors. All images uploaded. Just wondering if anyone has found anything.

Pixhost update

Doesn't appear to have a limit, or at least a really high one. Just posted 1671 images to a single gallery.
