Was browsing the third page of the merry xmas (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?12584-Merry-Christmas-Happy-Holidays!!!) thread in Other Chat, when this message popped up:

Just wanted to bring it to people's attention. Guessing it's from an image someone linked, might be worth editing out since I can't view the third page of above thread because of it. =(

I removed the offending picture. Hopefully you can view it now! :) Sheep

Yeah it must be from a site blacklisted on some browsers haha. I know my antivirus hates tinypic for some reason. :P

I don't blame it for doing so. It's a terrible website. You can't even view an image properly on the website unless you're posting it in a forum or on a website with the appropriate image tags. D:<
But I digress

Agreed! I used to use it all the time but they really ruined it. :/

I recall something like this occurring in another community I was with a few years ago.

Tinypic is going down the tubes for sure. Recently several of my images there were turned into random, different images. This concerned me so I've migrated to imgur.

Yeah, I can definitely recommend Imgur. It's pretty quick, easy, and reliable. I've been using it for years, so if anyone has any questions about how to use it, I can help, but it's pretty simple and self-explanatory.
