Definitely don't expect anything to happen anytime soon, completely understandable- but- to be the bearer of bad news, nickpic is shut down permanently as well due to bad actors uploading stuff that never should have gone on there. It is a tragedy especially since Nick was such a sweet guy and he didn't deserve his site to be abused like that.Oh. I didn't know that; thanks for telling me. That is a shame, yeah, though I completely get needing to shut it down because of that.
Though, oof, that's a LOT of uploading I've got to do all over again. At this point I honestly don't know if these icons see use much anymore, either; as far as I can tell, forum RP seems to be a thing of the past, so while I hate to have all the time I've put into these gifs go to waste, I wonder if it might be time for me to just let go of my vocation as a gifmaker.
If not... well, I have on occasion wondered about transferring the 'shop' to a tumblr blog; I know there are a bunch of RP icon resources blogs around, and while what I offer isn't quite the same thing, it still follows the same lines. It would give me somewhere to upload icons to directly, I could make individual posts for each character and have a selection of indexes to make it easy to find them all, and it might get me a bit more custom than I've been having here... I could still keep this branch open too, for people who aren't comfortable with tumblr, and just have all the icons be 'hosted' on the blog version. Only thing is... tumblr in general has it's own set of issues and, while I'm happy to RP there, isn't somewhere I'd really want to make into my internet 'home' for everything.
Otherwise, I don't really know what options I have left anymore. Do you know of any other free host sites that would work for this?
