It costs money to host photos. Not going to happen.

(And i can scroll up just fine.)

One of the Discourse sites i use is funded by donations, and the owner publishes all his costs. He pays more for photo hosting than for the basic text functionality. (He also pays a little for email, so the photo hosting may not be half the total costs. I don’t remember the exact numbers.)
