Third party hosting of images, videos, etc., is ephemeral. Countless valuable websites are now useless because the images, videos, etc., were hosted by third parties who have changed their service terms or gone away completely, and often we can not tell by the surviving post what point the image or video would have been making. I'm very thankful that the owners of this forum have made it so easy to embed images and videos here so that the archival value of the posts will survive the next time Photobucket changes their terms of service.
