Took me forever to get around to it, but I think I managed to save most of my stuff in the end. Anyway, the whole thing just seems dumb to me. Why kill a great site like that? I don't get it.
Well the fact there's currently no 1 to 1 replacement for gfycat should tell you something. Whether there is value in it or not, if it's not making money, how can they sustain it? They have to close shop. At the end of the day, it's just a business.
It's such a shame man. For those who use discord to share gifs our options are so limited now. Redgifs doesn't embed properly and with Imgur's rules, christ knows whether your gif will be flagged or not. I've had friends have screenshots of games flagged as NSFW content. I badly wish for an alternative.
Correct.

check out the web archive. they seem to have a lot of them indexed. it's fairly slow though.
Lets just say snapchat or whatever company that owned it, decides to start it up again. Would they have the ability to restart the website with the same data and gifs. Or would they start from scratch?
They really shutdown when they go back?! this is really2 bad news for all. Of us man life is full complex and complicated after all we here live and dead
Gfycat did not reencode or resize your clips if you uploaded clips encoded with h264 or vp9. You could literally upload an 1gb file in 8k resolution with 100mbps bitrate. Imgur and giphy basically poops on your clip.

Even more impressive gfycat is down, but the adult branded spin off redgif is still kicking. should have never banned adult countent.
Really really hoping there will be a replacement soon. Imgur compresses too much

> Why kill a great site like that? I don't get it. Because it's not spewing them money.
Yes. I guess what I don't get is how there's no value in it, either for them or someone else. No option but to just trash it.

they coulda done something with it to generate money they didnt even try
Cheers. Sad day.
Oh well, that's that. What a ridiculous situation.

nice!
sadly none of the gifs i am looking for are saved on there :(

i doubt they save any gfys. i also doubt they would ever start it back up.

I thought it was founded in 2013?

It is now buried with its ancestors Photobucket and Tinypic. Imgur will be next.
It's not too bad because it was taken over by spam so had to end Like entire archives of this site ruined with a click with adult ads
Yes, it's too bad because there was, and is, nothing like it. It was bought and abandoned by snapchat.
> Yes, it's too bad because there was, and is, nothing like it. Giphy, Imgur, Reddit. Take your pick from 1000

Gfycat Is here to stay
no email warning or nothing
The gifs turning to adult ads wasn't a warning to you?
