FYI, the reason for this is simply safety of browsing. It is too easy for
kids to end up on inappropriate content if we allow external links. It
creates a moderation nightmare. First we would have to go check out the
entire site being linked to, then continue to monitor it just to be safe.

FYI, the problems with the images you submitted had to do with the links
