It's possible ImageBox, Imagevenue and Imagebam might've been taken down by Playboy.
A lot of people seem to think that Motherless getting shut down in the Netherlands around the same time these image hosting sites went offline means they were on the same IP server and were just collateral damage. However none of those sites were on the same hosting server as Motherless. Eariler this year ImageBox got moved to Switzerland and ImageBam's servers have been in the Czech Republic. So they weren't involved in the Netherlands sweep. It's possible Playboy's legal team decided to go after these image hosting sites right around the time of the Netherlands raid against Motherless. Also takedown notices from Playboy were filed against Wonderclub and Internet Archive right around the same time the image hosting sites went down.
