! update

Yikes! Like everyone else ever, my images have messed up, so I'll be fixing those for my caps and directory. I went ahead and bought myself my own domain because I've wanted to launch my own website for awhile. Plus SOME DAY I plan on learning how to icon so I'll have that. PS iconners who are struggling, let me know, I would be happy to help host you for free. charlottebronte also mentioned being willing to do the same.

Unrelated but I added two new tags *requested and ! no icons (at least that I'm aware of) so if people are looking for not iconned sets I have as inspiration, it'll show up. ...which was more helpful when icon sets weren't wrecked thanks to photobucket. Jerrrrks.

I am working on some sets right now, including some popular movies that I've wanted to do for the shiny faces in them. If people have movie requests those are ALWAYS easier than TV shows, although obviously I am happy to do TV as long as I can find it. :)

SCREW PHOTOBUCKET THOUGH AMIRITE?

	Color me confused because I don't understand how my photobuckets haven't been affected, lol. But a #no icons tag would be a good one to have, regardless. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't know! I mean it's possible they haven't gotten to everyone. Yup! I'm still keeping the tag. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I just don't know how they think $400 is competitive? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Right? Ugh. I've been using them for so many years. I'm so bummed about this, for myself and for the other iconmakers. I guess that's one way to shove people out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	:( I know which is why I pretty much immediately was like I WILL GIVE YOU HOSTING MY LOVES. :( This is such a ridiculous thing all that hard work. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	And no warning which pisses me off more somehow like you don't even give people a head's up to save their stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Right? I feel like they could have at least sent out an email to all of their users at the beginning of the month, like '...we're stopping a service we've provided all these years. Get ready.' This feels cruel and unusual.

I'm so not the biggest priority, since there are iconmakers who do it way more often than I do. I have like 28 sets and I didn't get to post the last few. But how would the hosting from your domain work?

	I'll e-mail you, it's pretty simple! I've been guided by people who are doing it currently, the people who don't have their icons lost right now lol lucky devils (Reply to this) (Parent)

	the no warning part is the part that really bothers me. because i could've at least backed up from my posts but now i have to go through and use their download album option which seems to me like it has to use more resources than hotlinking! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theoddfanaticat 2017-06-30 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	Right? And ugh, seeing your icon journal made me want to weep a little. You're one of my favorite iconmakers of all time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ahh thank you!! it made me want to weep a little too tbh :x (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Luckily haven't been hit but I figure it's inevitable. Question: how do you host images from your own domain? Because the only reason I was still with photobucket was the folder/library organization and the easy copying of all the direct links. Imgur I did try before but didn't find it user friendly for using anything more than one off things. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nebari 2017-06-30 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I want to know this as well! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	janeeyre 2017-07-01 02:15 am UTC (link)
	It works much the same as PB. I'm working on a tutorial atm for auto generating all the icon image urls so you can c/p all the direct links into a table generator and bam. Takes about two seconds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nebari 2017-07-01 02:19 am UTC (link)
	I think you're going to have to explain, because it's been years since I've done this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course, lemme finishtthe tutorial then if you have qs I'll answer as best as I can :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-06-30 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	I'm using bouncewwb which was recommended by someone whose icons are still up lol. I bought the account because I want to make my own site anyway! But then I can make accounts specifically for iconners which I've aleqsdy started and I have unlimited space. So if You want to use mine for free you can! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	c_sands 2017-07-01 01:06 pm UTC (link)
	Oh that's really kind of you! I feel bad because it's not really an icon journal as much as an ooc journal I post icons on and once in a while do memes. Though if I'm using someone's hosting I should look into changing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iseethelight 2017-07-01 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	I mean no big deal either way! I can easily set you up with one and you can use it or not use it, it's legit no trouble to make a FTP account for someone to use at their timing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The worst! Not that I've used Photobucket in years... I think I stopped when they started to randomize the file names? (Reply to this)

I don't even understand what Photobucket thinks this is remotely fair, to ban all offsite linking unless you're willing to pay 400 a year. That's 2/3rds of my monthly income and then some (social assistance rates that have been static for a decade, yay).

I haven't been slapped down yet but I feel like it's only a matter of time before everything in my mod journal and all stress.my layout graphics at various character journals go poof and I don't even know where else to go because I've been using PB for so long. Some warning would've been nice to save us all some stress. All I know right now is it makes me borderline glad I haven't posted icons anywhere in forever.

	heyyyyy, dee! a friend (~commiesmasher) sent me this way now that my icons have gone down and i was like OH i know who dee is! (we played in marvel dystopia for awhile! this is kim, khush's sister!) are you still able to help out? stupid photobucket... (Reply to this) (Thread)
