Our new Terms of Service will go into effect on May 15, 2023. We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from our platform as well as nudity, pornography, & sexually explicit content. You will need to download/save any images that you wish to save if they no longer adhere to these Terms. Most notably, this would include explicit/pornographic content.

I know a lot of images posted to this forum are hosted on Imgur, so be sure to save anything you need because a lot will have been uploaded without an account. And judging by the history of earlier image hosts, chances are Imgur does not survive the transition and the rest will soon follow.
