They can take a fence post up the pooper as far as I'm concerned. I'm considering finding a free website host and making a single page website for the use of hosting my own images for free. I used to do with 50Megs.com on our band site, but I quite paying for that site. Most of my other frequented forums will let you upload images and host them on the server of the site....but that takes lots of storage and more moderation so I can see why it isn't allowed here.

Sure don't, sorry. I'm just now researching where to freely 3rd party host images. I've used photobucket since I started using forums in 2007.

I mean, I get it. You offer something for "free" and everyone jumps on board; however, I can't possibly imagine how much time and money it takes to host billions of images. The funding had to come from somewhere and maybe it ran out. Maybe it is in fact simply greed. I'll probably never know. It just seems like a dagger to the heart to have a few thousand images stored up over the last 10 years and posted on thousands of forum pages only to have them jerked out from under you like a magic carpet that disappears in mid-flight. We are all coming down from our "free high." Here's some music to ease the pain.....but you'll have to skip the advertisements....***beats head on keyboard repeatedly.....
