  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    Let's revisit this one again. They have a 'pay money for posts affiliate program', like the in-house one we use from -twist:

    Is this why we're suddenly getting spammed by new users who are using this host exclusively? (survey says "yes")

    e.g.:

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    This guy's been registered here for over a year and his very first posts were on this host in the past 24 hrs. The Selena and Cardi B ones he did were just a whole bunch of snaps from a couple of their videos to try and get as many clicks as he can. Didn't even bother posting the video! o_O


    I don't think it's a good idea to have this one around. If they want to get paid for posts, let posters (spammers?) use the one we already have a sponsorship with, and have a minimum of 1500 posts as well as per the Rules. Those criteria are there for good reasons. Let's not go down this particular rabbit hole again--! Been there, done that.

    The change was almost immediate once this was in the list ;)

    My 2 cents
