I just tried to upload an image (using FireFox 45.8.0) and:
1. Click-> Select file -> Open does nothing
2. Dragging and Dropping a file throws a popup saying: 'There's no WebGL context available.' and the byte counts show (top right) but then, nothing else.
HTH

> we're almost back to the original AOL model of a privately held "internet".
The very thought makes me shudder.

Try: https://flippa.com/
Also, you can look up something called GoDaddy Marketplace/After Market or something.
Also, you could try (bulk) updating the whois info of all domains with text like: This Domain is for Sale

One of the comments on the article:
> I thought a redirect would be the same as malware and as such illegal?
Any thoughts on this?

This. And also, continuing to earn and giving it away to the needy.

I guess they will think of throwing in a windmill farm (or something) to power the beast.

Heart goes out to those who suffered downtime and/or data loss and to the company CEO.

1. It is a free service that no one is forcing anybody to use.
2. I still haven't got around to writing/finishing up anything other than the core functionality of the service.
3. The reason I posted here is primarily to get feedback on the core functionality.
4. When I do get around to creating the TOS and Privacy Policy etc., what it will essentially state is that a) no human will look at the images and b) all images will be (automatically) deleted within 24 hours from the time they were uploaded/processed. While it is not hard to write this down, it is not high up on my list of priorities at this point in time.
Thanks for your feedback all the same.

> Also: where's your privacy statement?
Looks like you failed to notice above - this, Sir, is in alpha as of now.

I remember first using your service almost a decade ago and then, drifted over to DO over the last few years.
Good to know you folks are going strong - all the best.

As I mentioned in another thread about a week ago, I have recently been commissioned to create a (simple, stupid) CMS.
One of the features I wanted to incorporate into the CMS is image compression. After a good bit of code hacking and testing, I believe I have got something good going there. That inspired me to create an independent web app/service offering this (image compression) to users at large. My employers have given me the go ahead to do this.
Long story short, here is the alpha (link in title).
(Hopefully, I'll have a much more polished design/UI ready over the weekend.)
For now, please test it at will and give me your feedback/suggestions.
(The thread title can be made into an acronym YAICS; not intended :-))
