I mean, why does it HAVE to be a shitty free service that you know won’t last? And doesn’t that constantly worry you? Like, one day all the images on your forum are going to be gone ruining half the threads. You could just have all those images in a folder somewhere. Wouldn’t that (usually) be way better? If anyone wants to do the work I have space. I’ll give someone the passwords. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
Having your own site is definitely the way to go. : D When I was working on an MMO for SOE (:P) I would upload about 42 screenshots from the previous day's live player event to my ImageShack account, because of course SOE wasn't about to give me server access for that--and it wouldn't have been this handy anyway because I was able to make a script to do it and generate the HTML for me to hotlink the all onto our game forum. In the end I had 24,500 of these game screenshots on my ImageShack account. ; ) After I left the company, ImageShack got weird and eventually I just let the account lapse, so there went those hotlinked event posts. I did have them backed up though and now they're generously hosted on a player's server. : )
