IMPORTANT NOTICE - TINYPIC IS SHUTTING DOWN TOMORROW
WARNING: Tinypic will PERMANENTLY shut down on September 9th. All images will be taken with it. Download anything you want to keep.
According to a notification on their website, TinyPic is shutting down their website at some point in 2019, and they say that the reason they are shutting it down is because the ever-dwindling ad revenue is no longer enough to support a free image host.
If you have images on Tinypic, I implore you to move the images to a different image host, the best alternative currently being CubeUpload since it is free, but it does require an account.
This would be a good opportunity for me to plug Xomf.com, since similar to Tinypic, it's a simple image sharing website that doesn't require an account (you can't even make an account) and is totally free without any intrusive advertising. I really hope the Scratch Team approves it as an SF image host, preferably before Tinypic bites the dust and takes all of its images with it.

Do evil kumquats keep eating your signature? Assert your dominance and eat the evil kumquats. Did you know that kumquats are only about the size of an olive?

Hopefully people will see this.

SPEAK UP TO KUMQUAT EQUALITY Kumquats are not bad! Kumquat lives matter!
hi i am myself, i make projects that take like a week or month to make whenever i feel like it (which isn't often) and then they only get 10 views because i'm a nobody. and i cannot change that. i am just one singular person in the sea of many that are on scratch. my stuff don't matter. i don't matter. i am going to die in 70 years anyway, and 99.99% of people on the world will not even know, or really care if they know. also i am good at programming i made an opengl so ha take that nuuubs. (i am legally required to say that statement does not accurately reflect my views i wrote that because i thought it was funny)
all my good projects. are here here are examples of my good Projects
shoot that's it basically lol they're all platformers. play them and talk about it so i get clout plz. thank.

Same with me, I've always used Cubeupload. People that use Tinypic should see this topic. Oh boy, there should be a forum announcement on this matter. Luckily for me, I've always used CubeUpload. xD
Hopefully people will see this.
Anyways, too bad Tinypic is shutting down. But there are lots of other image hosters…
EDIT: Wait, will using the wayback machine technically allow Tinypic to still be usable?
(Cubeupload shuts down) NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don’t know exactly how it works, but I assume even if you could get the url (which I don’t see how you could from the wayback) I would think it wouldn’t work anymore once the site shut downSame with me, I've always used Cubeupload.

Your country has probably blocked all those sites. It's called government censorship. I might be wrong.
A VPN pretty much reroutes your Internet connection to a different location, so you can get around censorship.

I refuse to press the button, but it's strange to see an image host shutting down.
is this a question about Scratch? It's not.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

Oh whoops my bad. But still, that doesn't change the fact that making a whole nother project just for that can get annoying and tiresome. Plus, I'm sure that simply uploading an image to cubeupload is faster than making a project, uploading the image, make it the thumbnail, get the link to the thumbnail image, etc.No not studios, projects.Or just host your images on cubeupload..?

Yeah, and the image size would be reduced to 360x480, and if you want your image to be larger, you'd have to make it in vector which is impossible to export as a .jpg or .png.Oh whoops my bad. But still, that doesn't change the fact that making a whole nother project just for that can get annoying and tiresome.

Plus, cubeupload is unbelievably easy to sign up to, and if you don't have an email address, you can always use 10-minute mail. It's easy and secure to use, and you can get another 10 minutes if you wish.
