He keeps closing accounts; I have no clue what his current name if any is. He also abandoned the imgtc discord, was trying to get rid of the imgtc board a while back, and idk his contact info.

Shit's a mess. :/

It would help if GameFAQs didn't discriminate on where the image comes from through whitelisting only a few sites. I don't see why the few options we have are any better than any other image host.

But God forbid we have basic functionality in 2019

It could be worse.

Check the Answers sections for games sometime. You don't even have automatic hyperlinking if you link something, unlike here, and if you try to post any link not to GameFAQs the system won't let you (but this latter limitation is removed just by removing the http(s):// bit).

I really don't understand this site sometimes.

Instead of the admins here on GameFAQs giving us image hosting, they instead give us such features like badges and flairs.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/74654310
As of now, only Imgur is supported (much like only YouTube for video links), but we'll be looking into adding more image and video sources beyond these two in the near future

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/74686905
Today, we've added several alternatives to Imgur for those who would like to use another image hosting service. Now, we will embed images from any of the following: Giphy, Gfycat, Imgtc.

Of all those 4, only Giphy still works, and that site only accepts animated pictures.
Perhaps it is time to looking into it again?

No I get that. What I mean is that imgur allow other sites to direct link for embeds, seems weird to single out gamefaqs

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/76598738
Today, we're removing support for embedding imgur.com images directly into message board posts. Imgur has put in blocks preventing us from doing so. They do have an embed code that they provide, but it's clunky and causes issues with load times so we are choosing not to use it. Moving forward, if we detect an imgur link, we'll convert it to a format that users can still clickthrough to see (that is to say, that doesn't link to the image directly). Unfortunately, it's the only option available to still allow users to at least link to images on their domain without having the image be blocked. We will explore other alternatives, but we didn't want to leave this feature broken over the weekend.

That I agree on. Some reckon it was to ensure people click and give them ad revenue but I feel like they don't get that much traffic from GameFAQs. Especially in comparison to, say, Discord, where imgur links *do* embed

Why not just a simple <img> tag?
Whatever parser is sniffing out imgtc or gifycat urls for the lazyload could just as easily work with that instead.

If we had the traffic of 2004 Proboards then embedding images would be a non-issue. Since we don't, we tend to make image host websites a little unhappy when we just embed their content directly.
