Today I received this email from imageshack..
Quote:ACCOUNT INFORMATION
It take two to tango.
Imageshack has been hosting images since 2004, for millions of people around the world. We are thankful to everyone of our customers, who have shared many beautiful photos using our service. Today we are at a cross roads in our journey, when some very important decisions have to be made. We want every one of our customers to continue using our freshly redesigned site, with many useful and easy to use features. Our commitment to our customers is stronger than ever before. Since the launch of our new site we listened to your voices and tried to do everything within our power to make the transition to the new platform as smooth as possible. We are continuing to implement new features that many of you have requested. You can get a piece of the new ImageShack by becoming a premium member, for only $2/month, enabling us to continue hosting your images for years to come. If we do not hear from you, we will presume you are not coming back and no longer require our services.
Would you like to upgrade now or delete your account?
We are happy to have shared our time with you,
The ImageShack Team
Not only they switched to paid only.. they also kick us out?
Will they also be removing our current images?
Anyways.. one way or another I've moved on to imgur.com and so far it seems to be doing great.
Also, I've downloaded all my existing imageshack hosted images, banners and gifs to my computer, just in case...
