Images have been disabled. We have had a problem with people posting inappropriate text and images. Some of the images were very disturbing, so until we can make sure that won't happen again, images will just have to be linked to.

How sad. And I thought people could act mature.

We all do. Intelliot said that one of the reasons is that so we do not link to images from other websites and exhaust their bandwidth. In my opinion, that's a very stupid reason. Ah well ...

Well, as long as we're hosting the images somewhere like ImageShack or on other web sites dedicated to image-hosting, everything should be fine. I doubt bandwidth on other sites would have been the reason...more likely bandwidth for this site and download time for slow computers.

What should be done is that you can have the option of disabling images in your profile in case you have a slow computer.

I think there is an option to disable images in posts individually for users but they don't utilize this feature. That way, if they were disturbed by the obscene and perverted images like lemonparty and tubgirl, they could've just disabled images. They get priority, yet they prefer to b**** about it.

Heh, MonsterGamer was hit by those images a while back, too. However, we trust our members, and our mods are quite skilled at removing the evildoers from our community with their magical banning sticks.

Unfortunately, it's a little differnet scenario here, as the mods where the evildoers and remain. Plus, they just sign-on under proxies, if banned! Are you getting the picture now.
