With the implementation of a pay-per-post system, what are our chances of possibly having the IMG code allowed? Perhaps one forum that allows it, for that sole purpose?

The chances are slim and none. Part of the reason we disabled it was because of bandwidth considerations, true…but a bigger part was that sooooo many people insisted on posting copyrighted images, despite warnings and pleas from the moderators. Heck, look at how many people are posting copyrighted TEXT, and they do know better. The only reason TubaDiva didn’t put up an announcement about copyrights is that she didn’t want to bump the Pre-Registration announcement just yet.
Well, I shouldn’t give you the impression that this is the Official Stance, but I, for one, would expect to win the lottery before images are enabled again on this message board. And I never even buy tickets for the lottery.
