    What? Why is it blocked and for whom? I’ve had far fewer issues with it than I’ve had with the often slow-loading imgbb and the short time when imgbb went all-in on full-paid access before they changed their mind and went back to allowing a free tier.

      for whom?

      Me, and many others

      Why is it blocked

      You’ll have to ask them. They insist they aren’t, but I promise you I am not blocking them either, so it’s them.

      This was not a tech support request. I promise you all that I know what I am doing and it is not on my side and I’m not the only person with this exact problem.

        It sounds like your ISP is blocking access. Have you tried using a different DNS server? My ISP blocks thepiratebay and I easily get around it using the Cloudflare DNS server.

        Could it be someone between you and them? Is there a bug report or discussion tracking this problem which people could try to help solve?

      I can’t even open links to that site through Tor, and not because the site answers with 403, but because it never connects at all.
