Off topic: is it common to hot-link images away from your own site to (in this case) imgur.com ?
On a corporate network it means I can read the post, but not see the blocked images.
Is it just for the author to save bandwidth on - what appears to be - a wordpress site?
- Jonnax 7y agoImgur.com is free to host images and hot link embed them anywhere. So yeah, I guess it's to save bandwidth.
- yoru-sulfur 7y agoI've seen it done, but you're not supposed to. From Imagurs TOS[1]: "...Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network."

- rwestergren 7y agoGood point, along with the blocking on many corporate networks. Fixed!
