I guess it's a balance. I remember the imageshack purge but I also don't want to overload the instance.
Photobucket was next after that, not to mention countless others. Imgur has been pretty consistent over the years, but after 2 purges and hundreds of lost images (schematics in most cases) on my forum, I'm scared to death of trusting another image hosting company.
Basically, we still allow externally hosted images on the forum, but only for temp things, like buy/sell, stuff like that. Everything else is attached on the forum.
Imgur is deleting all images that were uploaded without being signed into an account.
Didn't know that, thanks for the info.
And all nsfw too iirc
