Hummingbird, I agree it's a problem (images linked from other sites disappearing).

I'll check to see if there's an existing forum mod to do something like what you suggested.

Ideally: the server could fetch copies of all 3rd party linked images, and only serve them when it detects a missing image (though that would require a script to run periodically to go through the list of thousands to check them).
