Author Topic: Recommendations please for free sites to store NSFW images (Read 803 times)

Haibane · « **on:** August 19, 2020, 06:08:35 PM »

Hi all, I have been using Tumblr for a while but cannot access my account right now. I am not sure why, it might be to do with my refusal to update Firefox to the newest version, because I'm just fed up with constant updates breaking things that used to work.

So I'm on the lookout for somewhere else to keep my porny stuff and also inspiration/settings/background images for use on E.

I have been uploading a lot to E's Wiki recently but I feel that's wrong because it eats up Veks' valuable server space and I'd rather not do that. A lot of my stuff is just background art I use as scene inspiration etc, but there's some NSFW stuff as well so I don't want a site like Pinterest that kills porn.

Thanks for any help folks.

I use imgur.com. I haven't had any issues with the site at all.

Haibane · « **Reply #2 on:** August 19, 2020, 07:33:01 PM »

Thanks. Are they okay with NSFW stuff?

Haibane · « **Reply #3 on:** August 19, 2020, 07:47:35 PM »

They ask for a phone number. I never give that out. Anyone have any other suggestions?

There's a work around that. I didn't have to give them my phone number when I registered a couple years ago. You shouldn't have to give them your phone number if you register through their app on your phone. At least that is what their FAQ's say.

I don't have a phone that runs apps, I have an ancient little thing. It doesn't even send texts :(

Chasing Dreams · « **Reply #6 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:01:25 PM »

Oh, well then that won't work. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion for you.

A great website I use is Nickpic.

However, keep in mind their policy on content over PG-13.

Do you allow adult content?

Yes, but, please remember to mark it as not family safe. Any images not marked family safe will either be flagged or removed. The content must be legal.

Bdsmlr isn't a bad option. The user interface is a lot like Tumblr's, and was created as a refuge for people who were getting away from Tumblr's adult ban. Can't remember the registration process as it's been a bit, but I believe it's pretty simple and straight forward.

Haibane · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2020, 05:18:47 AM »

Thanks all, I will take a look at both those suggestions.

Haibane · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2020, 06:34:01 AM »

I created an account at Nickpic and my first two upload attempts were "request denied" so maybe they don't like too many flesh tones :(

Vandren · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2020, 07:16:58 AM »

Newtumbl.com is a pretty good one. Basically the same interface as tumblr with some bonus features. Significantly less toxic crowd than I found at bdsmlr (still some, but nowhere near as much).

Haibane · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2020, 08:15:12 AM »

Thanks. I've set up an account at bdsmlr and that seems to be working. I have no plans to get involved in any community there; I'm just after a place to store image files.

Did you mark them as not family safe?

Sorry that happened, I don’t use Nickpic for any adult related content so I wasn’t entirely sure if they allowed that.

I did yes, I made sure since you mentioned it. Perhaps they have one of those algorithms that detects the amount of flesh tone in an image. Mine clearly exceeded it!

Don't worry and no need for any apology, I found a site in the end.

Currently people have uploaded about 40 gigs to the Wiki >_>

Yes, and I realise it must be expensive. I also appreciate it very much. I like to put some specific character and settings images on E's Wiki, but I'd rather use another host somewhere else instead of loading up your disk space.

bdsmlr.com it popped up after the whole tumblr thing and it's what I use for nsfw browsing and uploading :)

Haibane · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2020, 02:49:53 PM »

Yep! I started using that and it seems okay, easier to use than tumblr too, tumblr was a little counter-intuitive; I never seemed to know if I was on my blog logged in or not... and where the upload option was.

Haibane · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2020, 04:45:48 PM »

Thank you to everyone who made suggestions in answer to my request. I'm using bdsmlr now and it seems okay. Even if I wasn't able to take up your suggestions, thanks very much. Elliquiy's community is very helpful and I appreciate it.

Wow, amazing. Thank you!

Esoterica · « **Reply #23 on:** September 24, 2020, 10:11:13 PM »

Oh, I would like to toss out on other possibility. I use self hosting now, and a program called Filerun. You obviously have to have adult hosting, but this seems to work very well for me. It's something to consider.

Haibane · « **Reply #24 on:** October 07, 2020, 02:59:17 PM »

Thanks Esoterica, I've added that one to my list.
