I am not saying I am right. I did break the TOS. They have the right to do what they did. It's just not nice and I don't like them anymore :)

It's not nice that they want you to uphold your end of an agreement?

I sure hope your customers read this comment, they should know that you're likely to defraud them, since it's not "nice" of them to want you do what you agree to.

Er, so do you run around and dive in pools when the rule boards posted everywhere explicitly list those as forbidden, then get mad when you get kicked out?

That's exactly what I do in pools. On my case though I haven't read the TOS. And I would really appreciate a warning. Also, as I have already said, it's not clear when and how you are considered an image proxy. There is no way to know or monitor it. Do you consider any website with images breaking the TOS, or because we have a separate subdomain with images makes this a problem.

I think it's fair that you would appreciate a warning.

In the blog post your claim that "small businesses cannot depend on huge providers like google or cloudflare" may or may not be right, but it's absolutely not evidenced by you not reading the TOS.

I suppose you're also right that there's no way to monitor whether you would be considered an image proxy. I would appreciate more clarity on that myself.

It's extremely clear in your case though. You said it yourself, "all my subdomains that operate as image proxies are banned."

I agree with your comment

Lemme just say I do have sympathy for you, and I think your website looks great.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it

> Also, as I have already said, it's not clear when and how you are considered an image proxy.

I don't understand your position, you called your own servers image proxies. So how could you not know they were image proxies?
