[Slimgr] State of the Image Host - Same Shit, Different Domain Hello, I'm Technician90, Verified shitlord and the creator of Slimgur (which is now Slimgr), for those who don't know it was originally created as a joke response to the censorship of FPH content on imgur and sort of spiraled out of control from there. I'd like to start by thanking you all for using my site and making it what it is today. The change in domain is due to the fact that another website's name was part of the url and I got a polite message from their legal department. Basically the process to reclaim a domain name goes through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and is called Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). So after looking at some cases and decisions the old domain may have failed. And While everything might have been alright if I left things as they were I felt like this is a better course of action.  Although the main purpose of the UDRP process is to get rid of domain squatters and scam sites I didn't want to run the risk of having the old domain seized. This way I can control the redirect and the transition. Slimgur.com will continue to redirect for at least 2 months which is about how long pictures last on my site before they need to be deleted to make room for new content.  If any of you have an idea of what to do with the Slimgur.com domain I'd love to hear it in the comments. It was made clear to me that this domain is still not acceptable by their legal team but I'm confident that this name is not at any risk from the UDRP process. I also feel that moving away from being a joke/parody of another website is an important step if the site is ever going to grow. I'm sure some of you have noticed that the rate at which changed are being made to the site has slowed down a lot. This is mostly due to financial issues. I'm not a very good coder and while I found a great dev to work with who has incredibly reasonable rates (not the same guys who did the original album system) fixing the album system and creating a better sorting system for albums is a fairly large job.  I just had to drop close to a thousand bucks on text books and it looks like the ad network I was using isn't going to pay me for the last 2 months of ads I placed on my site. Which kind of sucks.  Everything should be redirecting to the new site, including old links. If you are experiencing any problems please let me know, but first try clearing your cache.  Once again thanks for your support and as always I'd love to hear your suggestions or thoughts about the recent changes on the site or the site in general, I'll be hanging around this thread the next couple hours to answer and questions or comments.
