Hi there Xxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for writing in. I apologize for this inconvenience. Unfortunately that site has been blocked from hotlinking due to multiple instances of abuse of Imgur's terms of service. The terms of service can be found at http://imgur.com/tos. We don't allow hotlinked images being used as content for other websites.

Looking into the website. The content has been used in forums, and not in any other fashion. I have removed the block. Please be sure that any blog posts shows content from imgur using our embed code.

I do apologize for this inconvenience. Please allow up to 24 hours for this to roll over.

Best,

Isaac K.

So they are removing the block. That's good news.

This is good. But what kind of image posting on the forum has violated the imgure ToS? I don't get it.

Was it my tentacle hentai gif thread?

MRW imgur tells me to stop hot linking.
