Over time, people delete or move those images without fixing the ones they have posted over the years resulting in useless threads. We ask when posting images to use the "Attachment" feature and then "Insert" them. Disabling the {IMG} tag is one possible way to enforce this, but we really don't think it will be in our best interest. Please post back with any thoughts on this.
I personally have been using Flickr for 12 years to host my photographs. I keep my account active and up-to-date, thus there are no broken links. However, disabling the HTML {IMG}{/IMG} tags would, in my situation, create broken links and make it more difficult for me to share images as I'd again have to upload them to this forum. I agree that it's not in the best interest to remove them altogether.

As Gravemind stated, I'm trying to make this something we can look back on while still contributating to it as we can. I'm currently going through threads of members who don't post here anymore and attaching their images to preserve the threads.
Maybe Gravemind could reward Mister Pat for all his hard work on the forum by coming on a kayak trip.
