Bgoodman is shutting it down.

Does this mean that all the pictures that were hosted on the site will no longer show in the threads.

Fairplay to you if thats the case... any suggestions on an alt service ( other than host on your own web site ? ).

I *may* replace it with a registration based service, haven't made up my mind just yet, I need some way to counter/track abuse.

That would be awesome...not having pictures of installs would suck. Sucks that people are abusing it. nowherenews is a great resource for the site.

If you use Apache to serve the images, I can provide you with a .htaccess script that will limit image displays to only specified URLs.
