What's really being asked, I think, is more than just image hosting. That's a cheap commodity through various services. If it was just about putting images on the web, that problem's been solved. But it's more than that. I think at least three (...) (17 years ago, 6-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX) !
