I noticed a strange error when trying to upload a pizzagate related image to ImgTC. so I went to ask the creator about it on Voat, and noticed that he deleted his account.

I can upload other images just fine, but for some reason this image acting up: https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/WKj2H2i.png Which I found here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1429561.
Try uploading it, and you'll get this.
"Unable to display image. It has either been moved or deleted for violating the Terms of Use."
Even after renaming, it still wouldn't let me upload it.
Is this the Sli.mg fiasco all over again? (I never did hear what happened to them)
Old discussion on alternatives hosts https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1576204
If it is, get ready and back up what you can.
Be aware though that I still haven't verified the validity of that image, which is what I was trying to do when I came across this blog: https://archive.is/QCjd4
"We previously reported that Comet Ping Pong had a seemingly suspicious “protected” area of its website with an array of password-protected zip files, as shown below:"
https://archive.is/QCjd4/71c433a7e9e78413835f20ca1fdd2383eca4b455
"However, on e of the researchers has debunked the claim that this is suspicious, as can be seen in this discussion. This development shows that confirmation bias has not taken over the research — participants are narrowing down aspects that are do seem geniuinely suspicious or remarkable by discovering that some of the discoveries, after all, are not. In other words, they are fact-checking themselves as they learn and uncover more."
Besides knowing more about the state of ImgTC, I'd also like to know whether this image was actually "debunked"..

They're not working for me either.

Thanks for this hafen. What on earth is happening? Two image hosts down and one acting up at the same time? That's just strange

It is weird. Couldn't tell you though. ¯\ (°_°) /¯

What are we gonna do now ?!! Are all image hosts being wiped out of existence in an attempt to wipe out Pizzagate? ¯\ (°_°) /¯

At this point I'm really not sure what to do. :-(
If you manage to get something uploaded, Archive.is may serve as a dependable fail-safe. You can archive image links with it, but that's clunky as hell. Others will probably chime in with better ideas than that.
I do wonder if it's that these hosts are receiving calls/visits from law enforcement and are being told to shut up. OR, more sinisterly, if they're being physically threatened by someone that's got ties to Pizzagate like perhaps within the deep state/shadow government.
Eventually all the smaller hosts come down like like rocks. I'd STILL like to know what happened to Sli.mg. Those guys were a part of Voat history (the FPH migration) and they just disappeared.
I know tons of "E-celebs" have already received calls and been told to move on from Pizzagate.

Good idea to archive after uploading, thanks.
And indeed, I fear they are being visited or threatened also. What happened to Sli.mg is anyone's guess. Alien abduction? They did literally disappear off the face of the earth.
Hmmmm.. this isn't looking good, guys

For what it's worth, a while back I asked about Sli.mg and remembered that this guy made an alternative.

Ahhhh.... "https://kek.gg was built to replace sli.mg (RIP)" Thanks for the tip!
So kek.gg is the place to go until it gets a visit?!
