I see your point. The problem is that these sites don't want their images hotlinked. It's bandwidth theft and they can at any time remove, or even change, the image.
It's better to stick to our approved sites - and if you think it lacks credibility not knowing where the images are from, add a source.
And yes, the rules were different back then. About a year ago it altered from a constantly growing list of banned hosting sites, to a limited list of tested and safe sites.

Understood.
I had assumed it was okay just for these random images in this thread based on the posts in the beginning of the game, particularly, the admins/retired admins and mods/retired mods posts...(maybe the rules were different then)
I also liked how hot linking proved that the image existed for real on the internet and not just some doctored pic for this thread.
Please remember, the forum rules for image hosting applies to this thread as well.
