They wiped all my images once and the URLs started switching to porn images rather quickly. After that, I registered a profile so I wasn't considered just some random IP not worth keeping. Other than that, it is my preferred site.
 
Does anyone besides me find it amusing and suspicious that the user that just bumped this thread member name is minus and this was his first post on GAF

Amusing, yes. Suspicious, no, since it is pretty darn transparent that he works for the site.

Edit: See, cofounder, higher then I expected but obvious none the less.
 
another image uploading site with built in link shortening... they are a fucking dime a dozen.

edit: saw the necro bump. someone ban the Minus douche for this.

Back seat modding, also a bannable offense!
Wait just a minute..!

Site looks quick, a tad faster than Imgur. I will try it out for a bit.

Well, its not spam levels yet. It is just shameless advertising. There is a difference!

I hope you guys have the bandwidth to accommodate NeoGAF's insane GIF obsession. Also, it'd be nice if you guys fix the layout CSS. On the main page where I have lists of galleries, I could hardly read some of the text (it's cropped somehow due to the positioning of the CSS boxes).
 
I use min.us for gifs, but I still like imgur better. Also for some reason I feel like min.us takes images down for excessive bandwidth use faster, not sure if I can back that up but I consistently see more min.us dead images in old threads than imgur ones.

Also is there a way to resize images in Min.Us?

There is a new kid in town and I rather like it. Also it doesn't compress JPEG like imgur.

I find it disturbing that you're the co-founder of an image upload site and don't have an avatar.

Can't find any. Another feature of imgur that gets really heavy use for me, and imgur resizes the pictures instantly, with a really efficient UI.

Perhaps a feature to work on for the future of min.us.

I think the proposed Firefox extension needs to have the context menu item much higher, with the rest of the image options. See how Imgur's option is up there?

Thanks, we do and welcome to use it. Can you please email me info@min.us the screenshot or your browser version/operating system?

Thanks!

We have no limit on linking to galleries or minus itself. For hotlinking we have a smart throttling algorithm that starts only after 5 days. The limit is based on daily throttling limit, we'll improve it and make it more geneorus in the near future.

Remember Minus lets you share FILES, not just photos!!

Was too lazy, done :)
 
I'm a lazy guy when it comes to picture hosting. I'd either just use my own site to host or... photobucket. I started using min.us and have found that I've been uploading pictures way more frequently than before.

The drag and drop thing is pretty cool, although I wish I could drag a photo from a website to my min.us tab. Suppose I don't have to worry about that with the chrome extensions now.

Only thing that would make the experience complete would be some sort of app store/android app so I can upload in bed/on the go.
 
I tend to just use dropbox. I have a folder I just put pictures in (So they don't clutter up the root of the public folder), and do "Copy Public URL"

Bamn, in the time it takes to copy the URL, the image has already uploaded.

WTF is this shit?

What file-type were you trying to upload?

http://min.us/pages/tools :P subscribe to our blog for more updates!!
 
i liked min.us a lot until the whole image switcheroo thing which filled some threads here with porn, which wasn't cool, now i don't really trust it and img.ur works most of the time...
 
Hi everyone

We had an upload bug earlier today with uploads. This has been fixed now, it was not restrictions. Please try again now. Very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Very sorry, please try now!!

somewhat related, facebook now blocks every imgur-linkit from me o_0

Really? I didn't notice that, try Minus links :P

www.minus.fm = www.min.us
mirrors !!
 
Still just use photobucket pro. For $3/month I don't have to worry about anything really - and it's nice because I run a blog where I have to host lots of images reliably.
 
To those complaining about the minus guy, I don't see this being any different than a game developer coming and asking for feedback on the gaming side. Most people are already aware of it and he didn't make the thread so no big deal to me. Not that I have any say in the matter anyway, but I don't see what the big deal is.

We host more than just images, any files , do try it and user profiles :)

your firefox upload tool doesn't seem to work when it's a raw image url. For instance, click on this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/images/neogaf/logo.png right click on it, no option to upload. It works fine when it's embedded on a page.

Thanks, we will look into it!
