wthax.org - image hosting

Steve

Awesome, did you have to IP ban any major continents?

Brian

Can you fix the boards.ie search too?

After ten years, wthax.org has come to an abrupt, but (I think you'll agree) ultimately inevitable end.

A few missed hosting invoices and it was taken offline, unfortunately in a fragile state. As you may have noticed, the images have all been unavailable for a couple of days - that's being remedied. Nothing I hate more than hosts disappearing with other people's memories, or breaking older web pages (and forum posts!). I'm in the process of moving all existing uploads to new hosting, and they'll be available thereafter in a much more manageable (for me) form.

What won't be coming back (at least for the foreseeable future) is the ability to upload new images or browse tags. You'll notice that wthax.org links now redirects to imgur.com. I think it's fitting, as Imgur took wthax's original reason for existing (slow image hosts covered in ads and malware) and turned it into a real business. Even I've mostly been using Imgur the last few years

So long!

And thanks for all the fish mate!

All I can say is thank you for keeping it going so long and hope life is treating you with the awesomeness you deserve given your record for keeping this site together in the bad times.

Respect,

Steve.

Brian

But imgur urls are so much less ominous!

Really going to miss this service.

Aw man. I uploaded so many things to wthax.

Everything is going to stay online (forever, to the best of my abilities) but if you'd gone to the trouble of tagging stuff and want a list of it, let me know and I'll get you a copy.

Brian
