[Slimgur] State of the Image Host: New Album view, 1000 registered users, finances Hello, I'm Technician90, the creator of Slimgur, for those who don't know I created it as a response to the censorship of FPH content on imgur. I have to start by saying you're all amazing and thank you for all your support and bearing with me while things get set up. We are only in our first month of operation and there have been a couple of speed bumps and I really appreciate the patience that you've shown me in the past weeks. We are currently hosting over 13 000 images and have over 1000 registered users. The most common suggestion that we received is that the album view sucks, the hopefully the new one should be better. It utilizes a more vertical - one page, sort of setup. This hasn't changed the old albums but new albums should be in this format. You can see a test album here: https://slimgur.com/album/05 The new albums also allow the uploading user to re-order the picture in any way they wish utilizing these arrows in the top right of the image which will move the picture up or down one spot in the order.  For those of you who want hoverzoom enabled you'll need to lobby them to include it in their code, there is nothing I can do to make it recognize my site. If you don't want to wait, Imagus, a hoverzoom alternative works, I made a post about  how to set it up here: https://voat.co/v/slimgur/comments/182122 I've installed a basic commenting system, it doesn't require signup or anything, if it works out then great, if not then we'll need to find another alternative. Currently upon posting it does bring you to a blank page. So, I've been experimenting with ads on the site, with varying success. Once company forcefully redirected mobile users to phishing sites and the google play store which is unacceptable. So far the only company I've been happy with is google adsense, they seem to be putting the most reputable/least scammy sites up. However their ads don't pay as well or as consistently as other ad companies despite a pretty consistent rate of impressions. Individual ads have different values and the number of clicks to number of impressions also impacts the value. If any of you know of a reputable ad network I would really appreciate a PM. One of the benefits of being so connected to this community is that I can tailor Slimgur to be what FPH needs and I want your input on where to go from here. I wrote a short survey (8 questions) which should give me some good information on where to go from here. The survey link can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8QDW5BL Thanks for your support and as always I'd love to hear your suggestions or thoughts about the site, I'll be hanging around this thread the next couple hours to answer and questions or comments.
