For several years now, I’ve been using ImageShack to host my images. The service quality was good enough, despite occasional hiccups, but when imgur came around, I gladly switched. That said, I was still satisfied with ImageShack and would use it to host something every once in a while. Until last week, when I learned of their decision to turn evil and extort money from their users.
ImageShack’s extortion scheme: pay up or else we’ll delete images you uploaded before we changed the rules.Instead of bending over and paying up, I’ve decided to simply stop using their services, which brings me to the reason for this post: the tool I needed to extract all my images from ImageShack.
A month and half has passed since introduction of patch 1.13d and I’ve yet to see a standalone item level viewer, so I decided to help all the 1.13d players out there and make such tool.
