"Unfortunately, it is no longer viable for us to continue offering our hosting services.
Please can existing account holders make alternative hosting arrangements and update any necessary links as we will be shutting the site down shortly.
We will be contacting premium account holders by email over the next few days.
Uploads have been disabled on all non premium accounts.
06th September 2007"

Means that if you have uploaded images, avatars, screenshots etc. there, run and save everything and find a new host (imageshack...) and upgrade all your topics before it is too late.

And do it quickly!

Shit...

honestly, i've never heard of them...

but i guess that's half the problem with the crappy filehost sites, most of them have no business model and can't attract enough gullable people to buy into paying for filehosting.

In terms of paying for file sharing, there's only one service that imo is worth the cost... that would be newsgroups:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?t=14869

This is because of their historical significance, technological advantages (distrubuted loads, openness, etc.)

I fear if you don't stick to the big freehosts then reliability is compeltely out the window. Even then, imageshack and photobucket aren't immune from financial collapse.

Spud, please...

It was a very good host site, I use it since 2 years, never had a problem, it was free etc.

Now honnestly, I'm just warning people.

Honnestly, I host all my screenshots there and honnestly, it means my thread and topics all around will soon look shite.

Means I have to backup all my images and check all my topics and update them, so please, honnestly, don't add a pain to my pain.

Honnestly, was just a warning.

Honnestly, not a crappy filehost site.

Honnestly.

I meant, use photobucket or imageshack.us only if your wanting persistant images. They have a proven retention whereas I don't think there's another site that can meet such a level. Stick to known "brands" tis all ;)

please, :)

Tovaridge, for now, I'm trying to save by downloading hundreds (dunno exactly but it's impressive) of pictures (one by one, after clicking on the lhumbnail of each of them, cause there's no other way on filehigh) that I have uploaded there, then I have to rename them 'cause of course, filehigh gives a number to your picture and not the name you want), then backup them 'cause of course, each time I've uploaded a file on filehigh, I've deleted the original from my PC and I don't have them anymore.

Then I'll upload them on a new host (if I have the time to finish before they close the door definitly) then I'll edit all my topics and change the url's.

You can't imagine how stupide and painfull it is. I'd prefer to spend my free time to do something more constructive.

And about filehigh unknown by most of people... 2 years ago, when I had to search a host site, I made a research, a deep one and filehigh had a very good reputation on several serious sites.

Spud, it's not because you don't know a site or because you don't use it that it's crappy (or shite, huh!).

Filehigh always worked perfectly, never had a problem until now.

But nothing lives forever...

Pure, shut up! ;) Nerd, you! ;)
You don't understand what all this means. It's more than a pain in the ass to save etc. then edit and correct all my topics. I'm not sure I'll have the courage (and the time) to do it.

I'm seeding and sharing stuff all around, I have a lot of topics and threads to update. Nothing funny.

You know I always try to create topics as nice as useful. Shit! Tired!

It's a fucking mess, you can't imagine.

Again, tired yet...

Darth, (be careful, your sonny boy's around with a laser gun and we all know how the story ends for you), will create me an account on imageshack as soon as I have the courage and time to finish all this shit.

Shit!

Good luck with your transition from filehigh to photobucket/imageshack :D

Stupid but hypnotic. But stupid. As what I have to do. And I don't panic. I'm pissed off and fed up.

Wtaching a crap (mushroom, mushroom...), drinking a beer, crying a bit.

Chin up my french buddy :mrgreen:

If I was you, I'd focus only on the popular posts & forget about the rest until afterwards. THeres loads of old posts with dead screencaps on here & other sites. Have a few beers & watch a good comedy to cheer yourself up :wink:

Le Frog. Mate. I agree with BadBugs, chill out for a bit. You are doing a sterling job trying to save your pics and I admire you for it. Enjoy your beer mon ami.

I'm Froggish, not French. One beer, not more. All my topics are very popular. Watch the one about Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected.
2 answers (Thanks PC_A), not a single episode uploaded (not a single episode wanted) for a complete week of work. Imagine me, editing those damn' boards and changing the links, one by one... Huh!

Killing, I do.

:wink:
