Imgur will be without pr0n.

root

I just received the following email:

Dear Imgurians,

We wanted to reach out to let you know that we are updating our Terms of Service on May 15, 2023.

Our goal is to unify our Terms of Service and our Community Rules for better consistency over our entire platform. As we look to the future, our new Terms of Service will better support and define our Service, allow for better safety & security of Users, and enforcement of Community Rules. Some highlights of how the Terms of Service changes may affect you:

The Community Rules will now apply to all uploads, both public and hidden. This means the following content is not permitted anywhere on Imgur:

• Nudity or sexually explicit content. Excludes educational, artistic, and informational content.

The new terms can be found here. For more information, or to contact our Support Team with any questions, please refer to this help article.

It seems they no longer accept nudity and pr0n, unless it is for education purposes.

So you keep watching the same scenes over and over again because you keep on forgetting what happened next, due to the natural and volatile functions of how human brain stores information. I guess now I understand why Imgur decided this: people kept revisiting the same content again and again; but this is not good for their servers, network and storage units.

Becoming tumblr v2 is not very bad. It is fantastic how image host lasted so long. Biggest hit will be on reddit, those nsfw subs. Wonder, where they migrate.

Time to find a next host to abuse as free cdn

Well... guess why it lasted for so long and was so popular

I learn how to replicate humans with pr0n. Purely for educational purposes.

More than just porn: https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029/

We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from our platform as well as nudity, pornography, & sexually explicit content.

Seems like anyone who uploaded stuff without registering/logging-in is getting their stuff removed.

Thank you. You too. I already have a wonderful morning at work.

It got spicy in here. Pr0n brings out the best in people.

Nothing gets me more aroused than a full-on purge.

Are you ashamed of your sexual turn-ons?

Excludes educational, artistic, and informational content.

That would be nice to know, where is the line between nudity or sexually explicit content and educational, artistic or informational content. Is it just how moderators feels when he/she decides to ban content?
I don't have an imgur account so this change will not affect me directly. And propably not even undirectly.

Based on every other platform that pulled this same stunt (Tumblr), yes.

We need some project to step in and fill this emptiness which was left by Imgur. I guess the biggest problems would be: DMCA, storage and bandwidth.

Kinda depends on how aggressively they enforce "sexually explicit".

The irony is that imgur was created as precisely that...someone saw an unserved gap in market (specifically hotlinkable)

Since you people got so many idlers, just setup your own image host. Scripts are available on github.

That's the way to go! Put those idlers to use
