I don't get why anyone would use a site to store pics on. If you have the pics on a windows or apple product, you can easily use a free hosting site like IMGBB to post on any forum platform. But to each their own I guess.

I did not store all my pictures on Imgur.

It was however a workable way of posting on to this Forum images that I could not upload directly.

This stuff is hilarious.


You wouldn't pay that local shop to work on your truck, but I guess you would hang around that shop all day, and use their tools and lifts, without donating them a dime, eh? Same thing as what you do here. You're posting on here nearly every day.

And, a security risk? You certainly wouldn't pay to be on a site with security risks. Me neither, if I believed that. But, I sure wouldn't be here everyday using it for free. Does not donating somehow lessen your "security risks" here? Hah, what a joke.

Your best avenue, if you really believed all the crap you posted above, would be to just stay the hell away. Anybody with half a brain would.

I'm so glad to see you are reading and enjoying my posts, Stan. You had claimed you were blocking me and could not read them. Apparently, not so, but I'm not surprised. Hypocrisy fits you apparently.

And, yes if a shop owner was okay with my using his equipment for free, I might very well do so. That would be HIS call, not yours. You seem to like to stick your nose into places it doesn't belong. What business would it be of yours, and what business of yours is it that I do not pay Dave? Isn't that Dave's issue to settle?

Maybe you should go back to adjudicating the shooting of dragonflies. Your arguments were even more hypocritical there.

Dave makes a few dimes from a few folks for doing not much of anything. He doesn't even contribute content. He relies on everyone else contributing it for free, and then wants them to pay to read it. Pretty cool business model when it works. I'll not play along, thank you, until he invests a little more in infrastructure upkeep.

Now back to the dragonfly wars, my little bulldog and busybody.

Gentlemen?

Is there an unseasonal cold snap in the States?

You seem to be generating more heat than light.

gee stan, some of us here like to share information...

others like to create files here for future reference...

just because you dont does not mean we shunt...

I reach Imgur through lunapic.com. I use lunapic for editing, but mostly resizing. The program has a window for copying and autolinking to Imgur. No problems so far. Gil

Because, your faux civility is laughable, and you are not a victim?

On a separate note, for those who make some progress by rebooting, could also try clearing the cookies and browsing history.

Carry on. I'm mildly entertained by your need to always finds something about me to whine and cry about. You seem to have a lot of whining and crying to do.

This subject comes up with some regularity, and it is always amusing. A quick Google search reveals that a number of photo hosting sites have failed, so the recent Photobucket fiasco was not an isolated incident. Considering that, I think it is simply foolish to rely on these services as a means of image storage. And it is totally unnecessary to store your images on these sites in order to post them here.

I still maintain that Dave Weber would be nuts to have free image hosting here. First off, it just isn't needed. It takes all of 20 seconds to grab a pic stored on my PC, or an inexpensive external hard drive, or other storage medium, upload it,. and paste it into a post. It is a little more tedious to post an image directly from my phone, but not difficult at all. Second, we already have one guy using this site to store the entire rough draft of the fictional account of Reilly and his 300 imaginary gunmakers... a long winded and repetitive tome based largely upon conjecture. Third, if anything happened to photos stored here due to a server crash or something, the usual crybabies would blame Dave for all eternity.

Speaking of which... it is hilarious to see one whining crybaby in particular making infantile demands and complaining about being abused.

craigd is 100% correct about his faux civility and all of the phony excuses for his one-man campaign to defund this site. When I first joined here, I quickly noticed the personal attacks he frequently made on poor old Lowell Glenthorne and others, so the pure and innocent act is totally dishonest. And then there was the protracted internet doxxing attack he engaged in a couple years ago, along with a few of his like-minded gutless Liberal Left pals. This was a clear violation of the rules he so piously preaches about, yet he continued even after seeing Dave repeatedly deleting his doxxing. Odd that he wasn't called out by the Preacher or Gladys Kravitz for not posting under his full name.

And this is someone who claims the Upland Journal forum is better in every way, yet he is here every day. What sort of sick masochist intentionally tortures their self in that manner?


Nobody with a brain is fooled by such phony behavior, but I suspect he actually believes his bullshit. This is the same mental deficiency that convinces total lunatics the anti-gunner Joe Biden is doing a great job.
