I get the logic,but the problem is that,when one surf after 3-4 years (say the post was created in the year 2006,we are surfing now),many pictures says "image not available"...its very awkward to me

Some times the "lost" image was the centre of discussion for next few posts.Even,some standard Photography forums suffers from this problem.
Today,when the forums are offering spaces to upload,I think its better to upload right in that very forum rather than using bb code to insert images from third party web site,especially when its not fully in your control.
