Tinypic is banned on Argentina, all they say is that you have to register on photobucket, no info about it.

I think they should atleast give some info about it, since tinypic is the most used image uploading service here in Argentina

This is how it looks now when i go to tinypic.com

On chrome it's a redirect loop.

This is what it used to look like back in july

Also, all tinypic images don't load for me

I also found this on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyPic said:
In July 2010 TinyPic blocked access to the site to users from Argentina, cutting off thousands of users to access, view or delete their stored images. As of August 2010, no statement has been released from TinyPic nor any of the numerous users' questions replied, instead a sign appears upon accessing the website inviting users to join PhotoBucket, but without giving any solutions for the users' stored images and videos

Also, here's a forum topic from a big forum from here.

(I used google translator, ignore the typo's)

Anyways, here's what i have for tinypic!

Re: Why tinypic admins are a fucking piece of shit

Well, what did you guys upload?
 
Re: Why tinypic admins are a fucking piece of shit

Yeah, that's why I asked what you all uploaded.
 
Re: Why tinypic admins are a fucking piece of shit

Stop being ignorant ThePro. It is your country's fault that Tinypic has blocked you off. Either it was once again one of the numerous attempts that software artists who have made creation similar to Conficker from Argentina tried to exploit or abuse Tinypic. And if I were the owner I'd also block off a country like that. A site gets to pick its visitors, there's not much for you to debate over.

Use some other service like imgur.
 
Re: Why tinypic admins are a fucking piece of shit

Could you please change your title, Pro :P
I understand your anger, but 'Why I hate the tinypic admins' is a more suitable title imo.
 
TinyPic sucks. The reason is ads and that verification for uploading the images. I upload crapload of images and don't want to waste my time doing those captcha(s). That's why I used to use imagehost.org but it got that disease too D:

Now I use imgur.com <- winwinwin.

I don't get any captcha and the ads are google ads.

But new users get captcha, so if you upload 3 images to it or so it'll start working like normal
 
The thing with imgur is that you cannot upload >1MB, At least with a free account, and I cba to pay for uploading images, thats why I mostly use tinypic, to get rid of the size limit. Other than that imgur is awesome :D
 
What images do you have that are +1MB? I've never had that problem and I've uploaded HUGE pics..

You're mistaking it with servimg

I just uploaded a 2mb pic the other day and it's still up so i guess it does allow more then 2mb
 
The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.

I think there was a typo in there (10mb = 1mb >.<)
