A better imgur, free and easy - iKinky - Jan 25, 2015

https://lambda.sx/
That's the website.

I'll relay anything you find wrong with the website to him.

The captcha doesn't appear sometimes, need to refresh the page a few times.

Other than that, looks good, i like the random colors :P

Uhh...How do you even make that character? Is there a Alt keyboard key for it?
Also....It seems I have to sign up just to upload?.....


* - Ƥerfectionist - Jan 25, 2015

I'm sure if I link an image from there to any of my friends, they will first question the links legitimacy. But the site looks cool though

If you want to be able to see your recent images and what not of course......

Labmda.sx is another alternative. They need to lighten up :p

i doubt you guys have the resources to be better than imgur, you wouldn't be able to handle 1% of the traffic imgur has

but, for a local alternative which would be used on a single forum, why not

Resources aren't a problem if it even grew to be that big.. Lol. That's not what it's trying to do though.

All I'm saying is it's a better alternative.

Well, with the recent Steam scam links, I doubt that will happen.

How do the recent steam scams work?
It's an image uploading site not a game transfer website. But aight fam chill

I know I know. I'm just saying that http://xn--wxa.pw/ seems quite weird. The icon or whatever it is, however looks pretty cool.

The steam scam is a link to a "screenshot" where it automatically downloads a spoofed .jpg image whilst visited. Sometimes it downloads a .scr file even.
I don't know who's idiot enough to open a .scr file...

there are people who think every screenshot link is malicious. For example, my friend who got hacked by those links (.scr file 🤦‍♂), doesn't open any screenshot links unless he's 150% sure it's safe.

ps. The site design looks awesome

Ahh I see, I hadn't heard of it yet. Haha I know the lambda symbol link seems a bit sketchy. I guess as long as the people who know what it is know it isn't a scam or malicious it's fine.


* - CaligulaEffect - Jan 27, 2015

yes the symbol looks like some kind of cult symbol to me, but other than that the site looks awesome. The domain also seems a bit weird. I wont remember all those letters/symbols

It's a lambda sign. You have two possible image uploaders to use so you don't have to go to the site that often. Plus there's another domain.


* - Nachfolger - Jan 27, 2015

The site is impressive, just two complaints.
- The domain looks sketchy af :P
- I questioned the language that the site was in simply because of the ʎ

Graphics for the site look amazing, and I would use it if I needed image hosting more then I do now.


* - Fʀᴀɴᴋɪᴇ - Jan 27, 2015

The site design is amazing honestly. I might not be using imgur anymore.
