    As was mentioned, server would explode due to lolcats. Even if there wasnt a bandwith issue, I can imagine lolcats being used WAY too much resulting in a flexible rule (see "YORE MA").

    1 week trial sounds like a good idea though

    It's just a radio button click away. I'd be okay with a 1 month trial.

    If you would like to see more of these hilarious images appearing in every single thread, used in a terrifically original context by posters who clearly display towering intellect and dazzling wit, then please allow AH images.
    Bashing the Roma and moaning about scumbags just isn't the same without a lolcat!

    nowadays i browse AH more on my phone than on a pc so if images were turned on in AH it would make the browsing experience an awful lot more difficult if not impossible.

    you could just say "turn images off" but then i'd miss the point of a lot of posts. right now people have to explain their posts in nice, low bandwidth words and if a picture is really necessary, they can attach it.

    i like it that way but i realise that problem won't affect most people

    No.

    Does anyone know why they were turned off in the first place? Was there some kind of situation, like in soccer?

    Mostly because mods got tired of cleaning up NSFW crap. I think.

    Could we just allow images from certain sites, like Flickr, where there is a degree of moderation already? It would prevent a lot of the worst stuff getting through.

    Don't think so I'd rather not have to clean up Polmki's NSFW picture fests and go through pages of cats if I want to read something.

    Bad idea, there's already an AH forum for funny pics so the only thing this would add is catfests and bannings and more sob threads here about why was my pic removed.

    I don't see the problem with linking.

    Thanks rb, I'm a 56k-er (at home anyways), fuppin cat threads take ages to load...

    Wouldn't get your hopes up. 2 year trial basis could easily be reduced to 2 weeks.
    Either people will run out of lolcats and lose interest, or one of the less tolerant mods will get fed up of it and stop the madness.
