Why do people continue to use this piece of crap image host?

Either people post it as a link, to bring you to some ad infested website, in which Avast even came up with a trojan warning once.
Or they post it as a linked thumbnail, so frikken small you don't even know what the image is! Again, links you to an ad infested page.
Or, the image becomes normally sized, however, it makes people put an ad

, infesting our forums with ads.

There are plenty of free advertless image hosting sites that even let you hotlink! Stop using imageshack!

Example of someone who can use imageshack without pissing people off:

Notice how the image is not scaled down, doesn't have any ads, and isn't linked?
Good job Antallion!




Examples of stuffty people doing stuffty things:

As you can see, image scaled down, and linked to that stuffty site.

This doesn't even have a thumbnail, and puts you right into hell.

I use imageshack, but I directly link it to the image.

I use photo bucket, but i kinda like tiny pic better because it doesn't forget up my images so badly.

I've had no problems with photobucket.


I hate having to hit refresh to see an image someone linked to.

Imageshack is a pain in the loving ass.


Tinypic is way better.
