It all came down to a decision I made years ago to host my own photos and graphics in case I ever felt the need to take my ball and go home. I just edited the original graphic on a few (not even 1%) of my pictures - admittedly the more popular ones that were in a LOT of threads. Like the megafuse one and the HVAC actuators, etc.
Wasn't going to publicize it too much here because the nooberators from the OS often used to lurk here to find out who needed to be banned.
Heck, they got so demoralized in the last couple of months they don't even lurk on THEIR OWN SITE anymore.
