Anyone hosting a contest thread, (RV, LDC, WITBLO, etc.) please take the time to reupload any images used in the original post and results post. After skimming through a few threads. There are a lot of avatars, signatures, and banners that were either deleted, changed, or otherwise altered. Especially so with avatars. Copying and pasting the image url of an avatar directly from the site means that it will appear to be whatever that user's avatar is currently, not at the time of posting.
I recommend imgur, as it's a very reliable and organizable imagehosting site.
Thank you.

WHY DO AVATARS AND SIGNATURES MATTER?
Disclaimer: none of these messages have been edited, context can be provided if needed (thanks discord!) but absolutely does not change anything about these messages and that he's too overly defensive and cocky to make situations better
Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

If you're using them for reference and then they change, you can't know what it was originally.

For future reference, imgur removes images after 6 months of no views. So, not exactly foolproof, but still better than nothing.

That was me, sorry. A lot of my images are used in topics and stuff.
It's because the bandwidth limit on my photobucket account was reached. Now I have a solution for anything I can turn into a .jpg file, but anything that needs to stay .png, I upload it to imageshack as it's the only one that works for me. Yes I've heard it has viruses, and apparently imgur is the best to use, but imgur won't even work for me. So that's my solution for it right now.

The below image is a montage of my individual highest placing LDC creations, as a reminder to myself that level designing is a part of my life that I can't just leave behind

@Mp3 I had a time when Imgur didn't work for me either (and by that I mean the site itself wasn't loading) and I contact them via fb page and they told me to use OpenDNS and the problem should be solved. For me it works now so you may try adding OpenDNS to your router (sometimes may need to reset the router), otherwise consider using dropbox.

I use Photobucket to upload my pixel art, TinyPic for WIP posting, and dA usually for posting my actual artwork. Other than that, I'm usually set.

Imgur tends to be buggy on my end when uploading from the main site. My suggestion is to use imaer. It lets you upload graphics without opening your browser and sends tjem straight to i.imgur.com
there is also iaza if you only need the image to be hosted for 90 days.
