TinyPic is shutting down

This is what appears whenever you go to TinyPic's website. Can't say I'll miss them especially with how they handled image hosting and recycling of image links over time.

Never in my life have I used tinypic, always used imgur for that stuff.

Same here, but I've heard of them. I still have some stuff on Photobucket, but I'm working on transferring everything to imgur.

Heh. I remember using tinypic at one point. Though that was years and years ago.

RIP tinypic.

Although I'm surprised Imageshack outlasted them.

can Photobucket die next tho

Mewtwolover July 31st, 2019 1:40 PM

Imgur replaced it years ago so nothing of value will be lost.

I hope it doesn't die that soon, I still have a lot to transfer. :laugh-squinted:

Palamon July 31st, 2019 3:09 PM

lmfao.

People used tinypic? When?
Rip, though. I never used it, well, I did, when my computer had viruses back in 2008, but that's it.

It was a slow and painful death of a barely remembered image hosting site.

tokyodrift July 31st, 2019 3:25 PM

I can't say I'm surprised at all. The thing that bothers me is that they are promoting Photobucket lmao.

alisaie July 31st, 2019 4:17 PM

"use our sister site photobucket"

lol ur cute

but wow I didn't know tinypic was around. Can't say I'm surprised either to see it go.

Tsutarja August 1st, 2019 4:06 AM

I jumped on the imgur train back when their images only had four randomly-generated characters in them :')

Sami August 1st, 2019 4:27 AM

I only recall using Imgur, before that I relied on dropbox of all things

Fairy August 1st, 2019 5:21 AM

Tinypic is still a thing??? I thought it was honestly gone already. :x

Probably feels like it was dead already due to imgur’s popularity and the fact that we banned use of tinypic urls a few years ago

Noblejanobii August 1st, 2019 5:55 AM

I used Tinypic for a long time until I discovered Imgur and then eventually started using discord servers for this sort of thing. Still it's sad to see them go. RIP Tinypic.

Sheep August 1st, 2019 5:57 AM

I remember when I made use of it but that was many years ago. It's become awful and clunky. Just logged in to see if I had anything stored worth saving, but it's ridiculously glitchy with the album/image numbers changing depending on the page I go too. Hopefully this doesn't mean I can actually access other people's content. /:

😂 I only have so much space to work with! So it's still going to take some time. Gotta delete some stuff to free up more space.

professor plum August 1st, 2019 12:09 PM

i wonder if theres a way for me to bulk download all my stuff from tinypic
i have a lot out there..

Treecko August 1st, 2019 12:49 PM

A lot of my stuff on tinypic are from like 2005-2009 and probably gone. I never really used it and went to Photobucket and now imgur so I can’t say I’ll miss it. Might try to retrieve my account and see if there’s anything worth saving.

Megan August 2nd, 2019 1:23 AM

Never used it. Dropbox has been fairly reliable to me.

Lemonski August 2nd, 2019 5:04 AM

I remember using TinyPic some years ago, though I didn't have an account on it; I just posted the images without an account so that was pretty inconvenient. :8: Nowadays I've been using Imgur since it does its job really well (and this time I actually have an account so my images won't just get lost). Being on PokeCommunity definitely influenced my choice to start using Imgur instead and I'm glad it did.

Percy August 2nd, 2019 7:28 AM

everyone used to use tinypic back when I was still rom hacking. tbh, imgur was far better and everyone moved on to that.

bobandbill August 2nd, 2019 11:53 AM

I am amused they suggested people move to photobucket, and a bit worried the two are owned by the same people, it seems...

Well yes I can only imagine them still wanting to make some cash so they just recommend their own "premium" site :P
