Geez guys, took me long enough! Here's your pix, as an Imgur album.

Please, I implore you to believe me: this is squarely technical writing. It's about conveying ideas precisely, not about flourish and creativity in wording. Nothing about a forum post is remotely journalistic. (Or rather, it shouldn't be. Nobody wants backstory and sidetracked babble. Just what's proximately relevant to the question.)

Please just upload them here, so they don't go missing if/when imgur shuts down. (There was already one imagepocalypse after one major image hosting service shut down. :( )

I can pretty well assure you that Imgur -- from everything I've heard literally ever -- is going absolutely nowhere but bigger, but... eh, WTH.

Gimme a few, it's actually easier for me to re-download them and then upload again here, rather than to pull them off my phone. (I'm a computer hardware nerd, not a phone nerd! Forgive me, please...) But, yeah, I'll put 'em up local.

The images are attached to this post. These are reduced in size to ~650k (ish) each using EZGIF[dot]com's JPEG Optimizer. (Normally I have a local program for that, but that's on another computer and it's late and I'm lazy.) Filenames from Imgur.

Before anyone asks, I did that specifically because I've been accused of image-spamming forums before (and other seemingly-minor transgressions) and I generally can't talk fast enough to avoid a bad day ;) so I figured I'd best play it safe.

I also took the time to make a ZIP archive of the original photos, and upload it to my Google Drive. After all, the files are uhm a lot bigger than 650k-ish to begin with. Besides, Google is forever, and, additionally, I have stuff still in there that has to do with a Linux Distro's support forum that I left about two years ago (!) and certain versions of that distro that were around at the time (it's one of those rare distros where there's actually a reasonable chance that a non-trivial portion of that forum might actually be using stuff from 2016 and perhaps even earlier, so it's still potentially relevant, as such), it's not like anything I stick in there is going away any time soon, either ;) But, if anyone feels moved to mirror it, go right ahead. Permissions are set to "anyone with the link can view/download/etc" so there shouldn't be a problem there.

Archive Link -- https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LSjK6QROYDsiJN1Iy5EemkqaF3IZLAM/view?usp=sharing

License: anyone who wants to download and/or use these images, in whole or in part, in any way and for any purpose, can do so, without any further restriction(s) and/or need to request permission (etc) from me or others, except as restricted and/or prohibited by applicable law(s), as determined and defined by a fair and just proceeding, or a series thereof, by a legitimately-recognized court of law holding correct and proper jurisdiction. Additionally, I personally disavow any liability and/or liabilities under all such law(s), as described heretofore, that may be incurred by the actions taken by those person(s) who download and/or use these images, in whole or in part, to the greatest extent permissible by said law(s), and I transfer such liability and/or liabilities, sum total and in their entirety, upon such person(s) as described heretofore, irrevocably and without expiration or limitation except as defined under such law(s) as described heretofore.

Ya'll have fun with that... :)

I didn’t say it because of idle speculation, but because it has already happened before, to another of the biggest players. Nobody thought it would ever happen, until suddenly it did. So your assurances are, unfortunately, totally meaningless.

(I think the one I’m thinking of is photobucket, which didn’t close, but disabled embedding in third party sites unless you had an expensive paid account. It happened literally overnight with no warning, and broke millions and millions of images across the web. Years later they changed it to more reasonable terms.)
