I've been looking at Pinterest images to use in my stories. But it's a constant battle to make sure that those images I use don't expire/break/get taken down. Will Pinterest work? Or should I find another image site?
I used to use tinypic.com, but actually had a few issues of one image here and there vanishing and actually being replaced by something else. You know that something must be wrong, when suddenly appears within your chapter instead of a scantily dressed woman ;-) Since then, a few months ago, i uploaded new images to imgur.com, and have had no problem so far.
At first playing with imgur I had issues, but figured them out and view it as an outstanding site where you don't even need to be logged in. Pinterest doesn't tolerate porn, and those who have it on there have been reported many times over. I should know been on both sides of the aisle there.
I just use photobucket. You can put the images in a private album so they cannot be simply browsed, but can still link to them. I cannot recall ever having an image taken down, but whether that is because of the private album or because I sually have nude or topless character shots rather than hard porn images I don't know. (OK ignore everything I just wrote. It had been months since I'd been on photobucket or checked past images I had included and was unaware that the site had changed so you needed a paid account to post third party images)
