How about a server script that gathers the images as they're posted, and a link to report broken images, so the server can then replace the image with the local copy?

The only time I can see this not working out well is (probably never going to happen on this forum) someone posts images of something they're not supposed to (perhaps from another person's image hosting account) and that person moves/removes the image from their account so that it's not posted live anymore.

This, of course, could be fixed with the "report spam" button, or via email with the mods.

Regardless, it's probably better for the server's health if we just "report broken image". Probably easier to code, too.
