I guess it's not a big surprise, it already happened once before. Which is why I still used imgur on Voat.

Twice. Both Slimgur and Veuwer went belly up.

Ah yeah, forgot about veuwer. What happened to it? It redirects to sl.img now.

There never was an explanation. It suddenly stopped working, and the Slimg guys reached out to rehost the images themselves.

I think that the guy maintaining it simply decided that it wasn't worth it anymore.

I always thought it was dumb how much people pushed for the use of slimg. Yeah, I used it, but only because I never really liked imgur. I'm kinda glad to see it go, and watch all the idiots scramble to find a new hosting site that meets all the proper political criteria.

Ehh, not really with you for this argument. I also had situation where my favourite image hosting site went belly up. RIP img.bi.
