BAD

An image link from [imageshack or other image storage site] to aarin =
OK
EXAMPLE:

If you want to use an image from Aarin at a place outside Aarin, you should right-click on the image and click on "save as.." to save it to your hard drive.
You then upload it to imageshack and use the imageshack link to post the image anywhere outside Aarin.
Hotlinking from a non-photo storage stie is a no-no everywhere because bandwidth thievery is similar to stealing gas from someone's gas tank.
Oops. I was too slow. I'm sorry, Yavannah.
