===Hotlinking external images===
*Photobucket no longer works for images.
*:Do we want to keep hotlinking to external files enabled?  This adds additional load to other peoples' sites, which we can easily support here.  Without hotlinking, it makes it slightly harder for spambots to put up "unwanted" images, and allows us to categorize and add info about the licenses properly. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 17:06, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
*::I think linking to Photobucket is very convenient for things that only have one time use, or for talk bubble pictures. I'm against disabling it; keeping Photobucket and internal images is my vote. --{{SC/Sig}} 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
*:::I second this motion, since I don't feel like relearning anything. :) --—[[User:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#4B0082; font face=Edwardian Script ITC;">Radical D </span>]] <small> [[User talk:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>(bother \ </sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Deyvid Petteys|<span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>stalk)</sup></span>]]</small>  19:08, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
*::::What do you mean re-learn?  One other benefit is that we don't have to worry about other sites moving their images, and then not being able to find a replacement.  Also if the images are changed (either the link to a new image, or at the target location) we can't track it.  Here we have full version histories.  If we're using an image, it's probably important enough to have locally.  We don't have to worry about server space, cause we have plenty.  The only case that I can kinda understand is user "bubbles", but I don't see an issue with uploading locally. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 23:17, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
