Is imageshack.us Safe?

This is a really terrible thing. I used to trust ***** in fact I've used it for years and I was a sworn user to it and I used to recommend it to everybody needing a free image host. Until ImageShack decided to drop their free service and removed all pictures on their free service. This is their full right, and I don't have any trouble with THAT. BUT! Suddenly they turned all existing links into advertisement regardless if the sites linking to the old images allow that or not turning me and everybody else who used their services in the past into spammers. Lots of sites do not allow me to edit those links out any more (as they had an edit or remove time of only 15 minutes, and that time has been long past now), so the spam is sealed there forever. This trick is lower than low and I and a lot of other people have been used by ImageShack, which is totally unacceptable. I was considering to use their paid service when the drop of the free service was announced, as I do have some stuff for which I'm willing to pay for a good host. My interest to go to ***** for that has been gone due to this unforgivable stunt.

Used this site for years without paying a cent! I am now into template making and sprite making on PokeFarm, so this is an essential. The only problem is it wouldn't upload animated images, or upload properly if I had AdBlock Plus (extension for Chrome) turned on.
