That sounds like a lot of work. Why not just push my screenshots to good ol' NNTP?
Because downloading a tiny GIF in 20 parts, is always fun. /s

That's a bit of a liberal retelling. You had a free account, the system sends you one (or two, I forget) emails if your free account is inactive, and if you don't log in for a few months it deletes the data to make room for others. There was a period where I didn't keep backups of the data on free accounts, but people complained, so I added that. I think it's a bit unfair to expect me to keep account data around fore…
Do you want me to provide you with the email trail? I remember paying for the account. EDIT: Did you warn customers that their data (maybe a couple of megabytes) would be deleted? Did you offer me "upgrade to keep your data"? You simply disrespect our data. Also, your service was down for months if not years! EDIT 2: Yes, you did say free accounts would probably get deleted after just 2 months without logging in. My…
The question is whether it was a paid account at the time of the deletion. Paying for a year in 2010 obviously still makes the account unpaid in 2014.
> Did you warn customers that their data (maybe a couple of megabytes) would be deleted?
Yes, you get an email that this will happen.
> Did you offer me "upgrade to keep your data"?
Yes, it was in the email, it also tells you you can log in to keep it.
> You simply disrespect our data.
I don't know how many times I need to say that this is incorrect.
> Also, your service was down for months if not years!
When was this? I don't recall this, and I use it pretty regularly (and have monitoring).

Well guess what just UNEXPIRED
Why thank you. I thought I actually had a paid account, but it turns out I misremembered. Got to fix that. EDIT now the site disagrees and tells me I already paid. That's one growth hack. The joke has expired so still no meme image for the parent poster. I appreciate the explanation, though.
That's because I upgraded you, so you look upgraded to it.

Oh yes, sorry! I legally changed my username, apparently you can do this and dang was very accommodating.
I changed mine a while back[1], (I was Jaruzel), although I don't think dang would be that happy if we all started asking. Stavros, now that I'm in your comment replies... can I hijack this comment branch to ask what payment provider you are using and what the integration process was like ? --- [1] I did it during a peak of self-loathing, I kinda regret it now, but ho-hum.

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.
Is it not ok to make a "little bit" (you can be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams from a small business) of money from a opinionated business (akin to a restauraunt, perhaps) rather than conform and become just one more ycombinator-esque startup in the hope you'll make even more money if you make it big.
I hope their architecture handles the HN front page load well. :) https://imgz.org/i9hxfgRu.png
I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. I'm happy to pay $1/mo, but when I tried to upload https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43... I got this, which doesn't look like what I uploaded: https://cln.sh/4coS9T / https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif
Well that's extremely odd, I will look into that right now. EDIT: This is very odd, I'm not really doing any processing on the uploaded files, so it should definitely return the originals. I will have this fixed soon though. EDIT2: Unfortunately, the saved image in the DB itself is corrupt, so you will need to reupload after I solve this. EDIT3: Alright this should be fixed! Now I can start submitting animated GIFs t…
