123a.org relaunched

with 2 comments

Some time back, I had to remove the old 123Avatar site because my webhost no longer allowed me to use PHP’s exec() or system() functions, which was required to use ImageMagick. Instead of rewriting the site to use the gd functions, I decided to relaunch 123a.org as an image hosting service.

The site is based on Mihalism Multi Host, but with several modifications. The first allows me to track image views (the original version linked directly to the image files). This allows me to collect stats on the views as well as to implement some bandwidth controls or anti-abuse blocking in future. The second is to make use of Apache’s URL rewriting to generate nice URLs. 

Yes, there are hundreds of free image hosts available now: Imageshack and Photobucket being the more popular ones. So there’s really no particular reason to use mine. But, hey, just give it a shot if you like. :)

  1. Why are your “laws” only the US ones? Tsk. Possible prosecution! Sounds scary!
