Digital Ocean, the host I am using for imgtc, has decided without warning to shut down the servers the website uses. I am trying to get it turned back online in the meantime but for now, the site appears to be dead in the water. I will post here with any updates. Very sorry for the inconvenience everyone

Do you know why?

Maybe someone uploaded something offensive or something and the server was notified?

Pretty sure companies can't arbitrarily shut off services you pay for. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

This is all I've gotten from them. Came home from work so I have my laptop. Can't ssh in right now, and my DO account is locked. There is a second ticket opened Wednesday about a dmca complaint, but it includes no info and they never sent me an email about it. Waiting to hear back about unlocking the server temporarily to switch hosts

Oof, ToS violations are very tough to get around. You could probably litigate if they don't play ball, but the cost will be quite high.

Unfortunately they don't have one, which in this instance really fucking sucks.

They opened a dmca ticket with me on wednesday, but I never got an email about it so I wasn't even aware of it until now. That ticket doesn't even include an actual message - literally all it says is '[Ticket #2755395] Network Disabled due to DMCA complaint'

Hey bud, if you ever go bankrupt and can't afford a place to stay, you've always got inside this guy's head, rent free. It's rather roomy too, not having the inconvenience of a brain filling the space

Technically, you would be supposed to personally review every single image that someone uploads in order to prevent anything that violates copyright or that is CP or something.

Obviously that is impossible to do unless you have sizeable full time staff.

Shit, I never really thought of stuff like that. So there are people poring through millions of imgur images to make sure they are ToS friendly? Even ones that aren't shared and thus not flagged?

I've never had any issues with hoth or electric bugs actually,so I'm not going to blame them or anyone else.

I do have tools to monitor and remove each upload, but I've never seen content personally that would lead to getting cut off like this.
