Hah, Greek time zone eh?
Yes :( There are worse timezones, there's this school in England whose timezone is like 12 minutes away from the rest of the country.
My favorite may be Lord Howe Island in Australia (Australia/Lord_Howe), which uses +10:30 in the winter and +11:00 in the summer.
Strike while the iron is hot I guess, but not sure why you you are being such an ass in your copy, it's kind of a turn off, even if it is super cheap. Maybe it's a trend where if something is super cheap people tend to write in that style, but it kind of erodes trust, unless this is supposed to be a joke site, but the fact that I don't know really hurts your chance to actually get users to want to give you their emai…
It's hilarious, and befitting what appears to be basically a personal project that accepts money and provides services as part of its schtick. Not everything on the internet has to be glossy and professional and trustworthy and inviting. It's ok to have fun.
I'd definitely recommend making a silly thing like this to everyone, with their only compass being their personal aesthetic. It's very liberating.
Plus, if you can use the thing to store images, even better.

Did anybody else read the copy, then read this comment, then read the copy again and go "what planet is this guy from?" How did "being such an ass" get defined down to something this mild? People are so easily offended these days. You can sign up for any image hosting website you want. I mean, you wouldn't go to Chipotle and rant at them for three paragraphs about how their mild salsa is way too spicy for you.
It’s all about context. In the context of informal Internet chat, this is mild. But as a business, in my own personal subjective opinion, it’s a real turn-off. I don’t ever EVER want companies to feign personality. At the moment it seems like this site exists purely because someone’s upset with Imgur. That’s a trrrible business model. I’m not about to rely on this existing in six months. What I want is the most dead…
Stavros. You need to detach a little bit, get a 10,000m view. You've got something, you can be successful. But your approach is "out of whack" and people aren't going to support you. Conform to influence.
I was going to upload a nice screencap from a 1988 movie They Live to IMGZ and link it here, but it turns out my trial expired so no link for you.

The fact that you are putting customer chats in public forum without their consent is just terrible.
It's absolutely fair game to post customer chats/emails that contradict a false and damaging narrative. Maybe the OP misremembered, maybe the OP has an axe to grind, either way the issue is firmly resolved now.
Eh, not really. Most half-decent businesses have a privacy policy/TOS that explicitly makes this a no-go, and would be grounds for a lawsuit if a company posted a customer's conversations with said company. It doesn't look like Historious has such a policy, so legally it might be okay, but it's still scummy IMO.
Posting your side of the story is fine, but using communications that are expected to be private usually isn't, and you should be able to correct the story without posting private info (we don't even know if the transcript that Stavros posted is true.. he could have completely made it up for all we know).
With all that said, it made me curious to look at the TOS for IMGZ, and... yikes... https://imgz.org/help/terms/

Hm, very odd that the type wasn't detected properly. The animated GIF issue is because of EXIF stripping ruining the image, though. I'm fixing that now.
It seems like you're still dealing with some pretty rudimentary issues here.
It literally has no semblance of trying to be a long term long running replacement to imgur. Just a dead simple image upload service that works from the CLI.

What timezone is that? I don’t see it in the tz database. My favorite may be Lord Howe Island in Australia (Australia/Lord_Howe), which uses +10:30 in the winter and +11:00 in the summer.

Unfortunately, Stavros has some issues keeping his services up. I was a user of his https://historio.us long-time ago, a paying one, and he just killed the service and lost all my data. Some time later, he restarted the service and gave my username to somebody else. Don't put anything meaningful and valuable into his services! Hello, I'm afraid I couldn't find your backup file :/ It looks like your account may have b…
