Can we stop advertising ImageShack, please?

To prove a point that you should upload things using Scratch, I think.

ok that makes sense

They're actually looking to blacklist cubeupload. (Source) So I don't think this will happen. Though, I know this will be a big issue and might have the same effects as 3.0.

Support! ImageShack costs money and CubeUpload is free.

I don't think that means they will blacklist it, rather discuss it with cubeupload to see if they can reach a conclusion.

This would be an incredibly weird thing to do on Scratch's part. Yeah, they have a discord link. So what? Are we going to start policing every offsite link just because there's a small chance that a 11px font hyperlink might lead to something that some people don't like?

Plus it'd mean axing the last image host that the forums allow.

no support, image spamming trolls deserve to pay for making a mess /s.

Support, I don't think anyone uses imageshack for the forums

support! Young kids might end up spending money on imgshack if they don't know what they're doing!

Agreed. My experiences with Imageshack have been poor - with that images expire and you have to pay to keep them etc. The site is also hard to navigate than CupeUpload. But we shouldn't advertise that due to the discord link - so maybe just assets? It is not controversial as it doesn't promote any other sites.

I don't think the Discord link should be a reason not to advertise Cubeupload – most websites contain links to social media.
Using assets.scratch.mit.edu to upload images isn't an intended Scratch feature and I don't think it should be advertised by the Scratch Team.
