What this means for us is that many of your six million or so (we checked) tupper avatars that are currently hosted on Imgur may start to suffer the exact same link rot issues that those uploaded through Discord face. This means is that any images uploaded to Imgur without an account (Example: All of the images we have paid to upload through their API, as well as most of the images y'all have been uploading to Imgur) may be deleted at any time after May 15th, 2023. So Imgur has decided to start purging old anonymously uploaded images. How about Imgur? They're a big name in permanent anonymous image hosting for online apps! They even offer a decently affordable API for image uploads, that'll work perfectly! Sounds pretty great! When we were originally setting this up, we had to decide where to host the images, with image permanence being top priority. This is why from the beginning one of the most important features of Tupperbox Premium has been to automatically mirror your avatars to a permanent image host, so that your tupper's avatar will never disappear. You know how there's that thing where sometimes you upload your tupper avatar and then Discord purges the image you uploaded and it disappears forever and then you join our support server to ask us why it's broken and there's nothing anyone can do? That's called link rot and it's a huge pain.
