Well, folks, it looks like IMGUR is going the way of Flickr and Photobucket; as in they are really getting overboard with trying to force a premium option on people, in the form of their Emerald option.
I've noticed, as of late, IMGUR is getting really aggressive with promoting their Ad-Free premium option, and now, has locked me out of the site unless I disable my ad-blocker. I honestly liked Flickr back when I was using it back on the old site, and IMGUR was just because at the time, I didn't want to go premium back when SmugMug made major changes after buying Flickr from Yahoo. I don't like PostImage that much, as well, its predecessor wasn't well-liked by my antivirus, and sometimes, it's a pain in the rear to use. Plus, as of late, it's gotten really slow on my laptop for some reason, while PostImage is fast.
Plus, there's my issue. IMGUR is not really a photo hosting site. It's a social site. Flickr is both, but it's more aimed at professional photography and photo hosting. If I'm gonna have to pay, I personally think I might as well just go with Flickr. And then, the IMGUR mobile or app doesn't have an option for BB code. I'm thinking I'm going back with PostImage for now, and am thinking over Flickr again. Honestly, I always liked Flickr much, much more.
