pm vForum | | wImg (3rd Jul 08 at 6:55pm EDT) | | I have started a new image hosting site! 
And considering the first image was uploaded about 4 and half hours ago... I have 32 images hosted! =D
Some Stats
What're your thoughts on what makes the BEST image host? | |

pmwwwmsngtalk vForum | | Re: wImg (3rd Jul 08 at 7:38pm EDT) | | There's two things I tend to look at in an image host
1) A nice easy to use format when uploading images which isn't cluttered by lots of slow adverts.
2) A reliable server. Nothing puts me off more than having broken images everwhere because an overloaded image server has crashed. | |

pmxfire | | Re: wImg (3rd Jul 08 at 7:40pm EDT) | | | I want the link . Wellll make it so they can change the size and it can be pretty big for a background like image shack. Make it good quality when it comes out. Have an easy acess to it where you aren't looking everywhere for the photo. Like the option of having folders. | |

pm vForum | | Re: wImg (3rd Jul 08 at 7:42pm EDT) | | #1 - I have a nice simple (imageless!  ) layout - and will perhaps have ONE advert at the very bottom. The similar to the one in the header here at vFS.
#2 - it's reliable! =)

It's one where you don't Register for the service, similar to tinypic.com - the reason is, a 'member' one is too silly, many people upload an image once - I understand that some people do like to keep them, then they can re-upload.
as for a link, PM me!  | |

If you love me so much, why are you walking away?

Sometimes if you love someone so much, it will actually hurt more.

pmskypemsnyahooaim | | Re: wImg (11th Jul 08 at 12:38am EDT) | | | I would suggest hving a regestration system as well so people can go through and modify their images that they have hosted. | |
If you fall I’ll catch, if you love I’ll love, And so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
This I swear. If you only love me back.

Lots of people, including myself - host images on the net for quick purposes only and showcase our final stuff on dA or PB or on a forum. Places like tinypic.com or wimg.co.uk are places that you upload semi completed works so that you can quickly show someone what you've made, get a bit of private CC, then close the window and never think of it again | |

pmwww vForum | | Re: wImg (12th Jul 08 at 7:04am EDT) | | I actually like quick imagehosts to upload screenshots of errors etc. I'm not a fan of registered image sites because they are less reliable then most. I love the idea of galleries, etc, but most of these sites are overloaded with advertisements, popups, viruses (yes I got a bad ad that tried to hyjack me via photobucket).
Fast hosting is a big plus as well.
Plus uploading this:
