Panic!!!

The site that I host my art on is shutting down in a week. I need to find a new space to put my stuff up on. Anyone know of anyone who has some extra room? :P

Send me a msg or something!

eta: Currently I only take up about 320MB ^__^"

if you can't find anyone else, I might know someone who can help you out. let me know.

what do you mean? like, photobucket, or something else? dA?

[altocello.livejournal.com]

I just host all my stuff at DeviantArt, but I know that for content reasons you're reluctant to do that. :/ I don't know anyone with their own server, more's the pity, or I'd host my stuff there too!

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I might hold you to that ;) I'll give it a couple days first though. Dont want to sit on it too long though, cuz RVBB posting is coming up!

I was hoping for something not owned by a company, if that makes sense. Before, I was mooching off a writer's extra web storage on her own website. I just like not having my images being sold out from under me to Google/Facebook/Getty etc.... and sites that dont care if I post teh pornz LOL

and from watching your experience with them always changing the stash addresses, it's a real put-off for sure.

[aku-rin.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay I understand...
I actually use photobucket because it has no restrictions for rating and the privacy settings work fine.
I don't know any private accounts sorry :/
I know it's owned by companies, but there are dropbox and box that could work, at least if you don't find something before the week?

Photobucket doesnt look too bad. There are some things in the ToS that make me side-eye it.

"Photobucket may moderate Content. However, we are not responsible for what you have uploaded and we are under no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content. We have provided some tools on the Site, such as links to "flag as inappropriate," so you can let us know if you find Content offensive."

sounds like if Peter Prude looks at my art and goes "oh no lé gays!" he can flag my shit as inappropriate. But they say they have no obligation to do anything about it, so what does flagging do anyways? It's very confusing.

and stuff like THIS always gives me the heebie jeebies:

"When you make your Content public, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to copy, distribute, stream, post publicly display (e.g. post it elsewhere), reproduce and create derivative works from it (meaning things based on it), anywhere, whether in print or any kind of electronic version that exists now or is later developed, for any purpose, including a commercial purpose."

WTF DOES THAT MEAN ME TOO?!?!?!?!

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

Photobucket deleted several of my images and cited that they were against their terms. Porn, or slash, I can't decide which rule I breeched more, jsyk.

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT YES! I forgot you were on there too!!!! LET US PANIC TOGETHER!!!!

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

Do you have access to Livejournal's own photo hosting system?

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about that, yeah - seeing as I'm paying for my LJ anyways, may as well exploit the photo hosting... jsut... like, I have 321 files.... overwhelmed LOL! It'll be a last resort for sure!

[castmeaway.livejournal.com]

Okie doke. Just let me know. I just happen to know someone with their own website and I know she'd host you. She's just a little tricky to get a hold of rn, though, so the more time there is to reach out to her the better.

Also. RVBB. Don't I know it! I betaed the thing! (At least LM's thing. Dunno if you're working with anyone else). I'm excited for people to read it!

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

To be honest, it's what I use and I don't even have a paid account any more, lol. And I know it can upload multiple files at once. The only thing I dislike is that it changes the file name. :/

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the issues Cello has with dA's sta.sh -- ugh! Nice to know you dont need a paid account to use the photo sharing though!

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

I think I have it sorted out now! Thank you so much for the offer! **SMISHES**

RVBB is worrying. I had 4 writers at the start, but only 2 now. No official "I've dropped out" notification, so I dunno. Same with ACBB, actually.. no word from my writer there either... might be first time in 4 years i have no contribution to the Merlin Big Bang - LÉ GASP!

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have about 360 MB, which isn't bad for a free hosting service. Plus, I find it I don't have problems going over bandwidth like Photobucket does?

EDIT: Correction, I've used 360 MB so far, which is about 35% of my storage space? So yeah, plenty of room for uploads. Turns out you get 1GB for the Plus accounts.

[castmeaway.livejournal.com]

Oh good. Yay!

But that sucks about everything else :( people suck, and your art totally deserves better.
