Forums have not been a first-class posting medium for at least a decade.
Everyone has forgotten the perils of image leeching, the action of embedding image URLs from random websites in a post. The young never learned. We who remember must educate them now. Use a reliable image host, ideally cohost itself!
YOU MUST NOT LEECH IMAGES!
Leeching images places your post at the mercy of an external website! In the best case failure mode, the images in your post will be broken and lost when the external site goes down!
In the worst case, a vindictive webmaster replaces your pictures with Goatse or worse!
Don't let this happen to you! Rehost your images!
