Getting shafted by ImageShack???

... you will be if you continue to use their free image-hosting service to host your forum/blog/website images after 1st Nov 2015!

I've just received the following:

ImageShack Content delivery policy changes



Dear ImageShack users, since 2004 ImageShack’s team has been working

hard to create easiest to use, best performing Image Hosting and

delivery solution for all users. To continue to improve our services

for our premium users, ImageShack will implement policy changes that

are listed in detail below.



Starting November 1st, 2015 ImageShack will be implementing a new

policy that will affect image delivery for some of our users, here are

those changes:



Premium ImageShack accounts will not be affected in any way. You will

continue to be able to use your ImageShack account, and all images

will be served to your pages.



Any free accounts (non-premium) will no longer deliver images to any

sites, blogs or forums. This change will be implemented by November

1st,2015. If you have a free account, have images that are linked to

any sites, blogs or forums and want to continue to have images

delivered to those pages, please convert to premium account

continue to have unlimited storage and unlimited delivery of your

images.

Not my favorite outfit either!

Frankly, Frank, I'm a little worried about Photo Bucket and the other free hosting sites. Judging from all the emails I get for fire sale prices on all that junk I have no interest in buying, it looks to me like the business model is not very successful these days.

It doesn't bode well for any of us who hoped to create something of durable value in KML.
