OPPOSED

FlyerTalk won't host our images because they would cost about $0.0000065 per image in hard drive storage space.

If FlyerTalk had to host 1,500 images it would cost them a penny.

So put the burden on each and every FlyerTalk poster to arrange their own way to host images in perpetuity or the links will break. You'll have threads devoted to pictures that don't exist anymore. And then people asking "where's the picture?" all the time. Maybe it works in the photography forum because people there take their images more seriously. In other forums people won't host in perpetuity.

Blah.

Thanks, but no thanks. <--- static image
