Poll on solving the imgur issue.
Imgur is much better than other services in my opinion, and I would like to continue using it, but I currently can't. I hope this is a temporary restriction.
I don't think there is a difference between people using imgur and those using other hosting services because actually the purpose of using imgur and using other hosting services is the same to get a link and then paste it on the forum so people can see the image.
If you think imgur is much better than others, where does imgur make it better?
Ignoring imgur to start posting new images on forums and trying to use other hosting services like TalkImg.com and others are good alternatives. Than later they will act again.
