Storing pictures & video in this forum to show others.

I don't know which category it comes to post this thread.
Mods if you find it in wrong thread please move it to proper thread.

I use to upload tinypic.com to post my pics for any clarification, doubt, proof, errors.........................
Also have seen other members using some other services to post pictures mostly & video some times.

Why Bitcoin forum users don't have a storage place here(in this forum) or some other place which is owned/rented by Bitcoin members, to put their pictures & video to use in forums?

Many times, free picture & video storing sites, don't work or delete pictures.
Most people know the megaupload case & also imageshack not showing pictures in many part of this world.

A storing place owned/rented by Bitcoin, will help greatly for forum members to store their pictures & videos & don't have to worry whether it will display or not to other members.

Also, it will reduce the bandwidth it takes to use this Bitcoin forum, as pictures & videos don't have be downloaded from other site to view here.
I am not sure about this bandwidth thing.
Please share your thoughts if its wrong.

If Bitcoin can generate money, then it also can generate space for members to store.

I dont think thats a good idea because of copyright scumbags.

A pic and video hosting service for btc would be better on another domain.

Exactly. It will also require a lot of storage, if everyone on bitcointalk.org uses it.

Another domain is also good.
I don't want to depend on some other network or service to use Bitcoin related things, especially when using this forum.

First off don't use tinypic, use http://imgur.com it much better!

Basically if you can get a descent amount of space, like terabytes, there are ways to reduce bandwidth and stuff like that. I think the problem would be finding a VPS that takes bitcoins and has a huge amount of space, I have yet to see one that is viable.
