I'm sure that I missed the latest announcement on this subject, but here I go anyway.
Why can we not have images? I know there was some drama a few weeks ago, but I'd thought that issue was resolved. This board sucks without images. I'm reconsidering my participation.
Is there any debate on this subject? Or is this just an administrative fiat? Again, why can we not have images?

Apparently Joseph thinks that all images linked here are a direct copyright violation.
So long as Joseph is a viable poster here, there will be no images.

Dammit! Just when I was going to post my latest picture. It was me in an orange speedo doing a disco pose in front of the stake center.

Enough to buy two six packs of my namesakes.

I don't own an orange speedo but I do have striped string briefs. Right now, I'm wearing light blue hanes. How about you?

I know many here don't like Simon, but I think he phrased it best:
Simon Belmont wrote:It isn't up to you.
Thousands of Internet forums exist today without any image rules (though some have a "no leeching" policy, meaning the image has to be hosted on a free image server like tinypic). Some of the largest forums like offtopic.com, 4chan.com, and somethingawful.com are healthy, vibrant communities with probably hundreds of images from all over the Internet posted every day. It's been this way for over a decade. Other sites like YTMD and Memegenerator host thousands of potentially copyrighted images, and they remain very popular.
So, why don't you police them?
The truth is, Joseph, that it is not up to you to police anyone.
