Hello all. Sad news today.

Imgur has decided to pull a tumblr. As of May 15th, they will no longer host any NSFW content including private images. Here's a link to the specific policy change: https://i.imgur.com/jNFKfEa.png

This is going to be absolutely devastating for reddit NSFW subreddits. Not only will it mean that you can no longer host any of your NSFW content on Imgur for posting to reddit, but it also means that all past content where Imgur was used as an image host may be deleted. In short, years of our highest-quality submissions that you can find in the "top" filters will be gone forever.

As of now, there doesn't seem to be another great hosting option. However, necessity breeds invention so hopefully within the next 3 weeks, a new option will arise that we can start to use. In the interim, redgifs.com does allow for image uploading and our current rules do allow for it to be used as a host.

I would highly suggest that any Imgur users back up their images to a device or secondary hosting service before May 15th to ensure that you don't lose your content. If you don't already have a redgifs accounts, I would suggest making one and using that as a temporary image storage measure.

We will try to keep everyone updated as this situation develops.

Thank you all and take care.
