They are/were providing a service to us, so we were paying them indirectly by advertising for them and bring traffic to them. That's how most of these free image service work (except some like imgur, that's a mystery to me).


I converted all (most of) imageshack and geting.se pictures a few months/years ago.
The remaining ones are those which were dead at the time I made the conversion (some may have reappeared since) or that were in png (I only processed jpegs).

That's to avoid the lose of many pics that I made the pics.imcdb.org upload service (reserved for the site's comments, as I do not have infinite money available for that).

All the remaining links to geting.se are lost forever, I already recovered all those I had in backup.
Some of the dead links to imageshack may be recovered: I have many in backups, but I still haven't taken the time to make a script to recover these.

edit: cf the thread created back then, when I created the service:
