I'm not argueing with the rule, I understand the reasoning behind it. But I do have to wonder what the image hosting sites think, since it does effectively force them to host the same pic multiple times.
my opinion is that since several of the hosting sites changed to make it possible to click a pic link and then get the posting code, that they like the idea of hosting things once. However that breaks down with the volume of hits SP gets. Links tend to die sooner with an extremely large number of hits, and on SP alone a popular post can have several 1000 hits in just a few days. Add in other forums, and the odds become high of dead links. So smaller forums may safely be able to copy links, but on SP it has produced poor results.
Yep, and when you do see thumbs that lead to the dreaded "image removed due to bandwidth" type of sign, those are usually pic links that have been copied over in multiple sites.
