Yes people. The Imagehost.com has died for the following reasons:
Alternative Sites...
Rest in peace :verysad:
Imagehost.org said:Finance issues. ImageHost.org was a free image hosting service that was supported by the advertisements you see on the site. While this went fine for a while, recently ad income plummeted to a level where the ad income isn't even covering the cost of the servers anymore. And I am not a charity, so this a critical problem.
Server issues. While in the past two weeks the servers operated reasonbly well, it was sometimes a nightmare to keep the servers up and running. This is a problem that would have just gotten more difficult if the service had grown any larger and needed more servers.
Time. I run ImageHost.org as a part-time activity (I'm a student). However keeping illegal content off the site & other administration duties are taking more time than I had enticipated.
Abuse. Did you know that out of the 410,000 images on the site right now over 13,000 have been deleted due to some kind of abuse or another? Now it's not really that annoying to keep porn images off the site. But what was especially annoying was getting angry mail from my server providers about images that were used in spam and phishing emails. This has even caused one of the ImageHost.org servers to be disconnected by my provider at one time.

Rest in peace :verysad:
