A little something amusing I found at LJ's remixed comm...

[juliet316]

It seems that people are expressing themselves about the LJ/FB/Twitter Patter situation in many ways.

For instance, one submission for this month's LJ header contest:

http://community.livejournal.com/remixed/126121.html

Needless to say, I was amused.

*also screencapped incase LJ deletes it.

ETA: FU Tinypic!

I'm thinking they may have already? Share please?

[richmodis]

Tinypic was faster and did it before LJ could do it. Tinypic is shutting down and deletes all the pictures people uploaded with their service.

[travelingmonkey]

Wait what? You can upload but it'll just be deleted? 0_o

[juliet316]

I don't know what their talking about either especially because I just clicked on their header links which are tinypic and they seem to be working.

[jaguarjg]

I just saw some one else talking about this and apparently its just folk in the states whose pics are being deleted.... must be a change to their licence or something.

[jaguarjg]

Actually no, its international users but people in the US have also had stuff deleted so...

In case you havent seen it:

Tinypic is no longer accepting uploads from international locations, and links are turned off. If you have content on Tinypic, you can still view the URLs and the content, but only on Tinypic. To upload, share, or link content, please go to Photobucket.com to register an account. You will need to upload your content again to your Photobucket account, but you will be able to share and link your images and videos. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy Photobucket, our premier image and video site. Click here for more details.

Sadly this is what I was afraid would happen when I learned Photobucket had bought tinypic.

FU Photobucket/Tinypic!

[juliet316]

Uh where did you hear that? I'm on Tinypic right now and it seems to be still up.

I get an "image unavailable" both on the LJ thing and on yours here.

[eva]

I can't see any of the images either.

[juliet316]

Switched over to my photobucket account.

FU Photobucket/Tinypic (Tinypic is owned by Photobucket)

[nanbungaku]

I feel like another site I loved backstabbed me.
srsly Tinypic, WHAT THE FUCK!
If someone didn't mention this on LJ, I wouldn't know.
Luckily I still can get into my account, but asdjakjdkakd!!!!

[juliet316]

Right now apparently only US users can still use the site, and who knows how long THAT will last.

[florentinescot]

That is so made of win and cookies.

and I really need a "made of win and cookies" icon! The Queen of Squee will just have to do!

[juliet316]

Blonde Xena makes me smile.

[florentinescot]

That's actually Aphrodite ... but yeah. The Queen of Squee.

[juliet316]

That looked like Lucy Lawless upon first look, my bad.

[florentinescot]

Don't sweat it. There is a resemblance there!

[primsong]

I want one that says "LiveTwitFace" to win. X-D

[juliet316]

Where is that one?

[primsong]

In my head! I just wish someone would make one. ;-D

[juliet316]

Oh yes, I agree, definitely needs to be made. Of course knowing our luck, it has been made and just hasn't been approved for the contest.

[florentinescot]

What we need is a community of LJ fail icons. I've collected several ..........

[travelingmonkey]

I don't think a whole community is needed, a simple post containing the collection would do. And I, for one, would *love* to see it!! ;D

[primsong]

I second that!

[zaluzianskya]

I went and re-upped the images to imgur after learning about Tinypic's fail.

It's not going to win, but I poured my heart and soul into that banner :(

[sonadora9]

I'd like to think you have a chance, but if I remember right, official LJ staff types narrow down the selection before letting users vote, don't they?

[zaluzianskya]

They did last month. Before that they let users narrow them down themselves.

[sonadora9]

Ah -- that was the first I paid attention to the header contests, so I guess there's my logic.

[samsharessometimes]

I hopes you winz.

It's either yours or the goat one. Lots of people liked that one too. :P

[juliet316]

It's a fantastic header. I'd vote for it almost certainly if it makes it to voting.

[kitters]

Omg, this is fucking amazing. XD

[atombunny]

Heh. Love it. It'd be amazing if it won, but in reality... *sigh*

And Goddamn, the Tinypic/Photobucket thing. I only found out that Tinypic was owned by Photobucket today. Utter epic fail. :(
