Was looking at a members profile today and noticed a linked image that's hosted on geocities. This remote image (their avatar) does not show up, it's a broken image! But, loading it directly works fine.

Is this a new trend? I've looked around and it appears many large free hosts are disallowing such use. What happened to those times when everything was free free FREE!!! :-)

In relation to fudforum and a possible fluff feature, it can check the images and if hosted on known disallowers, it won't be allowed. Users should know better to not post the link but maybe fudforum can teach a few people why it's happening.

I put this in general chit-chat because, well, just because :)
