The reason for this is that every time somebody loads this page the image is downloaded off the server it was hot linked from, this puts strain on their servers and takes up some of their bandwidth thus slowing their site down. While this may not seem like much, quite a few web admins do take this very seriously, and as such we don't want sol77's inbox flooded with angry letters referring to his bandwidth stealing activities. Thusly we must do our best to abstain from what is more commonly referred to as "bandwidth-stealing"
That said this game sounds like a fun thread but to repeat myself, images must be hosted on a free image hosting site. Images may be attached to a post and are totally fine as well but I don't really want to encourage that either as the more images get posted here the more our bandwidth slows down and the more Sol's host hates him and makes him pay.
So be a pal use a free image hosting service! :thumbup:
