imgur was starting to put ads in because free services usually die off or start turning regular features into premium features. Back in the day people used to post their images to image shack, and they ended up charging money for basic things, and imgur came on the scene.
Possibly nothing, I was just trying to explain the lifecycle of free image hosting services. I would not be surprised if some of the FPH drama contributed to the creation of sli.mg, but it's more likely imgur having excessive ads or requiring payment for excessive use was a big motivator for sli.mg to be created. Hosting images probably requires larges amounts of storage and bandwidth, which costs money.
That's now why it was created. They were butthurt about the whole FPH thing and everyone was accusing imgur of removing their photos because imgur prevented FPH stuff from showing up on their feed or front page or whatever the fuck they call it.
Seems you may be right, but I still assert that the lifecycle of image hosts is at play here: sli.mg just couldn't monetize fast enough to survive. I wonder if imgur is going to go the same way.
Imgur started removing the photos that were hosted on their site and posted to fph. This angered them so someone created slimgur as a direct response to imgur removing their content.
Yes. FPH was banned because Imgur threatened to block Reddit traffic due to FPH targeting one of their employees for harassment. So as some kind of poorly thought out "were taking our jpgs and going home" type of deal Slimgur was formed. It got popular with the usual suspects on Reddit pretty quickly but never really expanded beyond that.
I think your missing the part where the FPH mods tooks one of those staff pictures and placed it in the sidebar then that particular staff member suddenly started getting death threats.
Also, the sidebar image was the "about us" picture, I thought. Not of one specific person?
It was of a specific imgur employee. This is something the FPH mods had done repeatedly, like with that aspie from r/sewing they targeted. There were a few others too that I forget since its been so long, but the r/sewing aspie and the imgur employee are particularly memorable.
Some aspie posted a picture of herself wearing a home made dress in r/sewing. Someone in FPH linked to it and the thread immediately filled up with shit. The r/sewing mods tried to crack down on it, at which point the FPH mods took the picture she had posted and placed it in the sidebar. Things escalated from there, to the point where she was posting in r/suicide watch and FPH posters were showing up telling her to kill herself.
What was really obnoxious about it was that she wasnt bothering anyone or doing any of the annoying aspie shit that sometimes leads to backlash like insisting on talking about trains in a thread current events. The lady posted in r/sewing asking for advice on a dress she was trying to sew, she had done absolutely nothing to deserve that kind of shit. FPH had gone off the rails a while before that, but that was probably the incident where it became really obvious the mods were complicit.
whenever someone says this is a reason for something you can be 100% sure theyre lying
Weird, since that is exactly what happened with FPH. They placed an Imgur employee's picture in the sidebar and magically he started getting death threats, just like every other person whose picture they placed in the sidebar. The FPH mods knew exactly what they were doing.
Are you trying to claim death threats sent to people like Zoe Quinn didnt actually happen?
is this supposed to be bait lol
but nah she was never threatened, nor were any of the other attention whores involved
bpd makes people a mess
As if the teenage brains running FPH were actually capable of longer term planning or understanding that their actions have consequences.
cant just call everyone you dont like a kid cmon now
like what benefit do you think they envisioned in threatening a fat guy
how does that help literally anything, including their goals of making fun of said fat people
thats the problem with all these death threat claims, youre asking people to believe that the people you dont like are just so evil and unthinking that theyll threaten you even if they destroy themselves in the process
when in reality nobody cares that much about a lolcow
Jeez, you sound bitter. Would you like me to send you some death threats so you can feel important too?
lol go for it its not like youre going to follow through
I could never find the slimgur site. Although I hate imgur. I only use it because it's convenient.
I post a photo on there and the context is in the reddit thread not the imgur photo. And somehow people find the photo not connected to the thread and blow my phone up with notifications bitching about the picture not making sense.
/u/wharfthrowaway now that slimgur is down where do i post my pizza gate evidence?
I made a big breakthrough with the Papa John's logo?
This led me to investigate the "Papa Rewards" page. On Papa John's own website, you can click a tab labeled "Papa Rewards" to go to the Rewards page. Here I noticed several things.
Here is more information on the "rewards". As you can see, the code names for the 'rewards' are hardly subtle and extremely crude.
Here is an email receipt from Papa John's. I made my notes in the image.
Also, I've never seen JOHN Podesta and Papa JOHN in the same room...

Fatpeoplehate was making fun of imgur employees. Reddit banned the sub soon after and many people from that sub wanted to boycott imgur as a result.

yes the fat white fucks who admin imgur started taking away the shitlords' precious freeze peaches after an innocent coordinated harrassment campaign
so the public health retards set up their own imgur, this time with even worse servers
n/a ALoudMouthBaby 2017-01-30
Yes. FPH was banned because Imgur threatened to block Reddit traffic due to FPH targeting one of their employees for harassment.

n/a shitlordcaligula 2017-01-30
Actually it was pretty much their whole "about us" page. FPH users noted that they were all exceptionally overweight. Including their dog.
Imgur CEO made a post in FPH in a good-natured way, trying to explain the situation and assure everyone the dog was on a diet. Mods banned him.
n/a ALoudMouthBaby 2017-01-30
I think your missing the part where the FPH mods tooks one of those staff pictures and placed it in the sidebar then that particular staff member suddenly started getting death threats.

Huh. I don't remember that. Then again, the final weeks of FPH were clearly off the track.
n/a ALoudMouthBaby 2017-01-30
Some aspie posted a picture of herself wearing a home made dress in r/sewing. Someone in FPH linked to it and the thread immediately filled up with shit.

n/a captainpriapism 2017-01-30
fyi this is the part that i was saying didnt and doesnt happen
every single time in the past 5 years or some when some online shit gets shut down because of "omg death threats" its an excuse
yeah threatening random people for no reason and deliberately getting their own shit shut down sounds like their master plan alright
imgur staff get threatened in the same way that twitter feminists get threatened
n/a ALoudMouthBaby 2017-01-30
Are you trying to claim death threats sent to people like Zoe Quinn didnt actually happen?

It was miles better than imgur tho. No lolrandom redirects, no fuckery in the API, no issues with .wemb and .mp4...
n/a grungebot5000 2017-01-30
sure it didn't have any of that, it also couldn't keep an image up for more than 8 hours

lol why the fuck do you have notifications on
why are you even uploading from an account man
n/a SoButtscrewed 2017-01-30
You can do it without an account? It told me I had to sign up before uploading.
And I don't upload pictures all that often so I just kind of forget, my phone vibrates, I get annoyed, forget again and the cycle continues.
n/a grungebot5000 2017-01-30
yeah you can upload uncaptioned shit without an account. they like to restrict their users on mobile though and make em jump through hoops
n/a SamWhite 2017-01-30
They were blocking imgur?
n/a snallygaster 2017-01-30
They likely cut some sort of deal w/ the owners wherein they would get a cut of some of the profits generated by T_D.
n/a bfbj 2017-01-30
Honestly, why wouldn't they have the pizzagate stuff backed up on their computers?
If you really believe there is a massive conspiracy with major influences, why put so much of your 'data' (memes??) in one spot?
