It appears that Imgur has had enough of FatPeopleHate and their photos being popular enough on the site to reach their "front page."

Late last month Imgur revealed that due to a large increase in staff that they were more able to moderate the site and respond to reports than previously. "Sarah," a staffer for imgur also revealed that posts meant for FPH would be disallowed from moving to the front page of their site. But it seems have they gone a step further than that.

They have begun simply removing them from imgur entirely. A quick scroll through the sub last night revealed that pretty much the entire front page of FPH were links to removed content.

In resposne, FPH moderators made their sidebar a photo of the overweight staffers for Imgur, and users are using alternative image hosting sites.
