Allowing other image hosting sites incase CubeUpload shuts down

Remixxtehsmol

I dunno if I've posted here, but I still support adding Imgbb (if I've already posted this). I've used it a ton of other times, and it functions as intended. You can't really browse through images like imgur, preventing younger scratchers from seeing disturbing/inappropriate images, but you can easily upload images and grab a link or embed link.

I don't use scratch as much as I used to, but I'd love to see support for ImgBB added if it hasn't been already

Thanks for the reasons!

I support. I am from China (Mainland) and after I managed to create a cubeupload account (RECaptcha is banned in China), I can't even upload an image! But imgbb works well currently.
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 74.0, Flash 32.0 (release 0)
UPD: I managed to upload an image but it needs very complicated methods that most scratchers don't even know, so I still support.

Support; Cubeupload has a new banner, saying they are out of funds.

The ST seriously needs to act on this, otherwise it's Tinypic all over again.

What about GIFS sites? I know they're not very moderate, but it would be great if we had a site like Giphy or Tenor GIF. We wouldn't have to settle for static images anymore! We could have GIFS!

Pros:
-Great amount of content
-They are free
-They're quite successful, so they're far from closing

Cons:
-Bad moderation
-They can make Scratch slower

Gifs aren't always the most ideal. We need a place to host static images too.

Not a fan of Giphy. Even by going onto the homepage, there appears to be a few pieces of content that are inappropriate for Scratch. As a result I don't think it's likely we'd add it. This is the same reason why we have rejected/removed Imgur as an image host.

I only see two options:

-An exclusive image host site for Scratch
-ImgBB

I made a website based on your method but the post got removed as well before I noticed it was gone. I just contacted the ST to see if using the trick is actually bannable and I'm waiting on their response. I really hope it isn't because this is super convenient.

I just found a topic suggesting ImgBB, too.
Should the two threads be merged? (I know that Google Photos is here, too, that's why I'm asking.)

The message above may contain wrong information, rude remarks, or something embarrassing to my current self. In this case, please ignore it and remember that I likely wrote it back when I didn't know what “respect” truly meant. I really hate thinking about it again.

I'll just close the other one and keep this one. This thread has far more discussion on it.

I can't get into Cubeupload, it says, “502 Bad Gateway.” Cubeupload probably closed.

I also can't. But if you can it must just be temporary.

The site was working now, but now I can't see the images, a small image icon appears.
