We Are Cooked, Possibly?

It is just you or me? gravatar.com has currently inaccessible aka blocked probably for a certain countries, just like most of third party image hosting website (Not Secure: Potential Security Issue). As a result, custom profile pictures are now disappeared (Unless if we had VPN activated to preview those pictures back).

Dear developers and community manager, we hope you can understand our situation right now. We are so hoping in the future you guys can implement a built-in image posting feature (maybe just like social media type thingy such as Instagram) so that we're no longer relying on third-party image hosting website anymore (Or VPN in order to preview the blocked images and profile pictures). I know this will need time to recover but we are really sure that SimplePlanes 2 will be our final hope for everything and I hope those features will be implemented as SimplePlanes 2 has been released soon.

    1. You scared me, I thought the world was actually ending. Like WW3 happened.

    2. I thought you couldn't tag mods on CMs without permission (not being against you)

    @HuskyDynamics01 no not like that, we need a built-in image posting feature so that we don't requires any kind of 3rd party image hosting anymore. I feel really sorry for those poor bonkers out there who having their image hosting site got blocked either by their government or region locked.

    This site had better not turn into a social media platform, at least not any more than it already has.

    @LunarEclipseSP I'm slightly curious, do I have a gravatar on your end?

    @DeeganWithABazooka I was trying to disable it for a while to see if default avatars are still visible. As it turns out, no... So that's why I put back my "invisible" PFP back on

    @LunarEclipseSP Everything is fine for me

    @DeeganWithABazooka It seems that Gravatar still visible in your country server, so my thought is true
