I didn't want to sign up for imageshack back when they switched from open use to subscriber either Mtn Gramma, but I did because imageplay has been too unreliable and I didn't care for any of the other image hosting sites I tried. I'm really glad I'm signed up now, because I can go into my image upload history and grab the codes for the images that they store so I don't have to re-upload them (just to give you an idea, I've been doing this for over a year and haven't even used a fifth of my allotted storage space - there's more than enough available). You can make your stored images private so they aren't available to anyone searching too.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
